Does ASEAN need energy storage?

The ASEAN bloc has set the targets of 23% renewable energy in its Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) and 35% renewable energy in ASEAN installed power capacity by 2025. This means that energy storage is required. Additionally, without BESS acceptance on a larger level, the needed funds won’t materialise, and fewer BESS will be built.

Which companies are developing energy storage projects in Southeast Asia?
