6 FAQs about [Power storage in developed countries]

Can battery storage transform the power system in developing countries?

There has been significant excitement around deployment of grid-connected battery storage around the world including many developing countries. As the cost of battery storage followed the sharp drop in solar and wind, batteries hold immense possibility to transform the power systems in the developing world.

What is the role of energy storage in the future?

A key role in the future power systems will be played by energy storage of all types including conventional storage like pumped storage hydro and more recent innovations on large-scale grid connected batteries, fly wheels, compressed air storage, etc.

Why is China promoting energy storage at the 2025 two sessions?

The buzzword “energy storage” at the 2025 Two Sessions underscores China’s strategic focus on building a resilient, sustainable, and diverse energy system, contributing new efforts to a sustainable global future. The country’s progress in new-type energy storage highlights how innovation can drive both economic and environmental progress worldwide.

What is new-type energy storage?

This year, “new-type energy storage” has emerged as a buzzword. Unlike traditional energy, new energy sources typically fluctuate with natural conditions. Advanced storage solutions can store excess power during peak generation and release it when needed, enabling greater reliance on renewables as a primary energy source.

Is energy storage a good idea for small businesses?

On a smaller scale, energy storage is unlocking new economic opportunities for small businesses. By integrating renewable power with agriculture, individuals can store and supply excess energy, enhancing national grid resilience and diversity while generating profit. China has been a global leader in renewable energy for a decade.

What is the business case for batteries in developing countries?

There is a critical need to systematically analyze the business case for batteries in developing countries. The IFC White Paper provides an excellent foundation for the methodology that needs to be implemented for power systems where there are potentially strong cases, marked by high penetration of renewables and inflexible systems.
