However, ASEAN has many untapped markets for energy storage applications. Hence, to maximise the market potential and accelerate the low carbon transition in ASEAN, this policy brief recommends several enabling policies for energy storage.
ASEAN has adequate policies to positively influence the attractiveness of energy storage through renewable energy investment, both on-grid and off-grid. However, ASEAN has many untapped markets for energy storage applications.
ASEAN Member States (AMS) need to step up their game on energy storage development. As the 6th ASEAN Energy Outlook foretells, ASEAN’s Total Final Energy Consumption (TFEC) projects to increase by 38 per cent by 2025 and 146 per cent by 2040, from 375 Mtoe in 2017 to 922 million or megatonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2040.
As renewable energy sources will play a more prominent role in the region’s sustainable development, the integration of energy storage systems in Southeast Asia is imminent. Energy storage seems to be facilitating the transition towards clean and sustainable energy, particularly for islands and rural areas within the region.
In December 2022, OeEB invested USD 8.5 million in the SUSI Asia Energy Transition Fund SCSp (“SAETF”) on behalf of the Austrian Ministry of Finance. SAETF is a climate fund and aims to invest in proven renewable energies, energy efficiency and electricity storage in Southeast Asia in order to avoid and reduce CO2 emissions.
However, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) bloc is falling behind in technology implementation due to a lack of awareness and policy initiatives. Of the 11 ASEAN members, Singapore is taking the lead in the battery energy storage systems (BESS) space.
