Singapore's Sembcorp Industries has developed Southeast Asia's largest energy storage system (ESS), which has begun commercial operation on Jurong Island.
Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) and Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA) have officially opened what is being touted as Southeast Asia's largest energy storage system. The Sembcorp energy storage system (ESS) spans two hectares of land in the Banyan and Sakra region on Jurong Island, southwest of the main island of Singapore.
Singapore has surpassed its 2025 energy storage deployment target three years early, with the official opening of the biggest battery storage project in Southeast Asia. The opening was hosted by the 200MW/285MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project's developer Sembcorp, together with Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA).
The Energy Market Authority (EMA), a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry, is taking proactive steps to encourage the deployment of energy storage systems across the island. Various statutory papers have been published to provide clarity on the deployment of ESS in Singapore and the current regulatory framework.
Singapore, February 2, 2023 – Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) and the Energy Market Authority (EMA) today officially opened the Sembcorp Energy Storage System (ESS). The Sembcorp ESS is Southeast Asia's largest ESS and spans across two hectares of land in the Banyan and Sakra region on Jurong Island.
Sembcorp Successfully Commissions Southeast Asia's largest Energy Storage System”, December 23, 2022. Based on independent assurance provider DNV's global database of 4,210 ESS projects totalling 32GWh and publicly available information as of January 5, 2023 for a comparable size utility-scale ESS (same or higher rating and same design).

Due to various incentives and policies, Brazil's optical storage market has seen a rapid growth. The document presents a comprehensive list of the top 10 energy storage companies including Baterias Moura, BYD, Freedom Won, Blue Nova Energy, Intelbras, Huntkey, FIMER, SMA Solar, Sungrow, and SolarEdge.
“One way to expand the share of renewable sources in Brazil's power generation mix is by giving them greater predictability. A non-dispatchable, non-predictable renewable source, when combined with a storage system, becomes dispatchable, that is, more widely used by the national system operator.
Driven by various incentives and related active policies in recent years, Brazil's optical storage market has experienced strong demand, and its installed capacity has experienced rapid growth. Brazil added 8.2GW of distributed power generation capacity and 2.5GW of centralized power generation capacity.
ISO CTEEP claimed it as the first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) on Brazil's transmission grid. The project required a total US$27 million investment. The transmission operator is permitted by regulations to earn up to US$5 million revenues from the asset each year.

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a technology that stores electricity for later use. It helps balance the power grid by storing excess energy when production is high and releasing it when demand rises. BESS is key for using renewable energy sources, like solar and wind. These sources don't produce power all the time.
