Depending on the energy storage technology and delivery characteristics, an ESS can serve many roles in the electricity market. Over the last ten years, South Korea has undergone a significant transformation in its electricity generation landscape, marked by a remarkable rise in the contribution of renewable energy (RE).
ESS units, which are large-scale facilities designed to store surplus electrical energy in secondary batteries for later use, are seeing a spike in demand due to the global shift towards renewable and carbon-neutral energy sources.
The market research report covers market dynamics, the growth potential of the ESS market, economic trends, and investment & financing scenarios in South Korea. Further, the report looks at the current state and assesses the potential for the deployment of different types of energy storage systems.
However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market. This was a heavy hit for the energy industry, but developments of safer technology and renewed state support have recently given new life to the domestic ESS market.
