6 FAQs about [Southeast energy storage]
Is Southeast Asia a good place to invest in energy storage?
Image: ACEN. There has been an uptick in energy storage investment in Southeast Asia, a region still largely powered by coal and experiencing high growth in population and energy demand. Andy Colthorpe speaks with companies working to establish a framework of opportunities in the region.
Are lithium-ion battery energy storage systems the cheapest energy storage option?
For the foreseeable future, lithium-ion battery energy storage systems will provide the lowest capital cost energy storage option for power utilities and developers in Southeast Asia. While energy storage costs are as inexpensive as ever, the equipment is not cheap.

PHOTO: SEMBCORP INDUSTRIES Commissioned in six months, the Sembcorp energy storage system is South-east Asia’s largest and the fastest in the world of its size to be deployed.
Will Singapore expand its biggest battery storage plant?
Singapore’s government and Energy Market Authority have announced power sector and grid enhancements, including a possible expansion of Southeast Asia’s biggest battery storage plant. Gridstor, a US-based developer and operator of grid-scale battery storage systems, has kicked off construction of its first project in the Texas ERCOT market.
Should energy storage systems be used in gas-fired facilities?
A second, more effective option would be integrating energy storage technologies like lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) at gas-fired facilities. Such “hybrid” systems that combine generation with storage demand close consideration as variable renewable electricity generation increases in the generation mix.
Are gas turbines a viable commercial asset in Southeast Asia?
Therefore, gas turbine facilities will continue as viable commercial assets and key parts of the energy mix in Southeast Asia. Bonus Reason: Speed to Market. One of the great advantages with BESS is that it can be deployed quickly delivering immediate impact.
