The 2025 tender builds on the government’s initial foray into centralized BESS contracts, launched in 2023 with a 65MW, 4-hour project on Jeju Island. That project represented a turning point, establishing a new model for how low-carbon resources can be procured and integrated into Korea’s power system.
At 140MWh of contracted capacity, the Project will be the single largest BESS project in Jeju and the first of its kind under the newly created capacity market structure.
Strengthening the domestic BESS landscape not only supports internal resilience but also serves as a proving ground for exported technologies. The 2025 tender builds on the government’s initial foray into centralized BESS contracts, launched in 2023 with a 65MW, 4-hour project on Jeju Island.
Equis is successfully leveraging its extensive BESS track record in Korea, having owned and operated a 207MWh peak-shaving BESS project in Incheon and Pohang, the largest in Korea at the time, as well as currently operating a 75MWh solar-connected BESS project in Sinan County.
The capacity will be split between 500MW of large-scale BESS on the Korean mainland and 40MW of the technology on Jeju Island, a popular destination for domestic and international tourists.
The forthcoming tender will allow for BESS project bids of 4-hour to 6-hour duration, equating to up to 3,000MWh of storage capacity for the mainland and 240MWh on Jeju Island.
