RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS

Enhance safety management of energy storage industry projects

Challenges for any large energy storage system installation, use and maintenance include training in the area of battery fire safety which includes the need to understand basic battery chemistry, safety limits, maintenance, off-nominal behavior, fire and smoke characteristics, fire fighting techniques, stranded energy, de-energizing batteries for safety, and safely disposing battery after its life or after an incident.

New energy storage field enters scale

On September 12, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration released the “ New Energy Storage Scale Development Action Plan (2025-2027)”, which clearly proposes that by 2027, new energy storage will basically achieve scale and market-oriented development, with technological innovation and equipment manufacturing capabilities remaining at the forefront globally.

ASEAN Battery Energy Storage Box BESS

June 5, 2025 | Manila, Philippines – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) announced a grant agreement to establish Enhancing Access to Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for Low-carbon Economies (ENABLE), a platform dedicated to accelerating battery storage deployment across the Asia and Pacific region by pooling and concentrating the human and financial resources to fast-track BESS projects, together with other similar-minded development partners.

Energy storage battery profit comparison

For example, the average revenue of an Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) battery in 2023 was $182 per kilowatt per year, but the best-performing asset in the same region was closer to $300 per kilowatt per year, a 60 percent increase. 4 Similar dynamics—where there is a large spread between the best and worst performers—are observed in other grid-scale battery markets, such as the United Kingdom. 5 A variety of factors, including design choices such as battery duration and commercial strategy, can affect these outcomes.
