The revenue potential of energy storage technologies is often undervalued. Investors could adjust their evaluation approach to get a true estimate.
In 2024, developers built energy storage at a rapid clip, adding nearly 11 GW to the grid. The industry is poised to grow even faster in 2025.
Singapore’s achievement of its 2025 solar target ahead of schedule underscores its commitment to renewable energy and its capacity for innovation in the face of unique challenges.
Image: Sunseap. Singapore could sit at the “core” of new regional electricity grids in Southeast Asia, with proposed interconnections to neighbouring countries set to bring 25GW of new renewable power and energy storage projects online.
This milestone marks a 25% increase from the previous year and showcases a more than 17-fold increase in solar capacity since 2014. The rapid growth in solar capacity is attributed to Singapore’s strategic efforts to maximize solar installations in land-scarce areas, such as rooftops, reservoirs, and offshore spaces.
As a backup, they help to overcome the issue of high cloud cover – a common issue in Singapore – that interrupts supply harnessed from the sun. The 200MW system is currently being installed across two sites on Jurong Island – Banyan and Sakra – spanning 2ha of land in total, which is equivalent to the size of four football fields.
For instance, the report notes that Malaysian and Indonesian solar-plus-storage projects have an LCOE ranging from US$74-116/MWh and US$91-144/MWh, for projects that can deliver 100% load factor. This compares to an LCOE of US$135-170/MWh for combined-cycle gas turbine projects, with a 100% load factor, in operation in Singapore.
