Why is battery storage important in Thailand?

Thailand is positioning battery storage as a tool for both industrial competitiveness and renewable integration. The Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) targets 30% renewables by 2037 and includes storage as a core enabler. Rising industrial tariffs are pushing factories and industrial parks toward solar plus storage systems.

Will battery energy storage reshape Asia?

S outheast Asia is shifting from the sidelines of battery storage to the centre of a global energy transition. It is on the brink of a battery energy storage (BESS) leap that could reshape its energy systems. The region’s market is valued at around USD 3.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to approach USD 5 billion by 2030, expanding at 6 % CAGR.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are essential for buildings and renewable power generation facilities to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. Renewable sources like solar and wind power are intermittent, and influenced by weather patterns. BESS mitigates this issue by storing electricity for future use.

Which country has the most policy driven battery storage market in Southeast Asia?

The Philippines has become the most policy driven battery storage market in Southeast Asia. Through Green Energy Auction Program (GEA) 4, the Department of Energy has integrated storage as a mandatory element of large-scale renewable tenders. This decision has created a multi gigawatt pipeline of projects that have a clear commercial path.
