By Ganesh Padmanabhan, Head of Project Finance, Jern Siew, Executive Director, Project Finance (Australia), and Suvro Sarkar, Senior Vice President, Group Research (Energy Sector), DBS Bank. As Asia gears up for a shift to renewable energy, energy storage has come to the fore. But the transition to cleaner power can be a bumpy ride.
Both China and India have now reached critical inflexion points in the deployment of grid-level energy storage options, as the proportion of generation from renewables has reached about 15% of total electricity generation, prompting policy calls for higher investments in storage to ensure grid stability.
China is leading in this area, with its gross energy storage capacity addition reaching 22GW in 2023. This makes up 36% of the world’s total additions, according to BloombergNEF (BNEF). India has also launched ambitious targets for the development of battery storage, aiming for 34GW by 2030 to power the electric vehicle sector in particular.
As of 2022, BNEF estimates Australia had 1.4GW/ 3.5GWh of cumulative energy storage capacity (excluding pumped hydro), of which 60% is standalone and 40% paired. Such paired solar and BESS (RTC) projects are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37% by 2025, based on the data available.
Australia’s storage projects have historically focused on standalone BESS, but in recent years, there has been a rise in projects involving solar and wind coupled with BESS that are expected to be commissioned in the next two years.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
