Making energy storage systems mainstream in the developing world will be a game changer. Deploying battery energy storage systems will provide more comprehensive access to electricity while enabling much greater use of renewable energy, ultimately helping the world meet its Net Zero decarbonization targets.
Regulations and policies in developing countries do not incentivize the adoption of battery energy storage systems, but a new framework developed by the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) could unlock knowledge and capital. Across the globe, power systems are experiencing a period of unprecedented change.
The new comprehensive guidelines aim to accelerate the transition from traditional fossil fuel-based power generation to cleaner, more reliable, and affordable solar-plus-storage systems in emerging economies. Battery storage systems are critically important in conjunction with renewable energy generation as they guarantee continuous energy supply.
Several business models can enable the monetization of hybrid projects that incorporate battery energy storage systems. The World Bank, through its Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), is actively working on mobilizing concessional funding for battery energy storage projects in developing countries.
“Battery storage will be crucial in the effort to decarbonise and lower emissions from energy production. For Africa in particular, it is an ideal technology, enabling us to capture more of the abundant wind and solar energy available and use it to provide clean, affordable power at scale.
" Solar-plus-storage systems can provide clean, affordable, and reliable electricity access in developing countries while reducing dependence on fossil-based energy systems ," said World Bank Vice President for Infrastructure Guangzhe Chen.
