The Korea Power Exchange, under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, is expected to announce the winning bidder for the 540
In terms of battery storage system deployment, South Korea stands among the global leaders. By the end of 2022, the cumulative installed capacity of battery storage in the country had reached an impressive 4.1 gigawatts. In October 2023, the South Korean government unveiled the Korean Energy Storage Systems (ESS) industry development strategy.
Korea’s power grid is an isolated system with no cross-border transmission lines; therefore, electricity demand is met entirely through local production. Korea has an electricity emergency response manual outlining response procedures in the event of an electricity supply emergency.
Less than a decade ago, South Korean companies held over half of the global energy storage system (ESS) market with the rushed promise of helping secure a more sustainable energy future. However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market.
South Korea is ramping up its battery energy storage deployment with a new 540MW tender to stabilize the grid and support renewable energy growth. Learn how this move strengthens both domestic resilience and global market leadership.
In South Korea, various energy storage solutions are used, including pumped hydro, electrochemical batteries, and others. Depending on the energy storage technology and delivery characteristics, an ESS can serve many roles in the electricity market.
The Korean government is also working actively to promote and deploy smart grid technologies. The government plans to deploy smart metres to all 22 million households by 2024. Climate resilience
