Myanmar''s power sector will likely continue to experience significant challenges. To sustain the current level of power supply would require adding 300-500 MW every year until 2030. Scenario analysis on the power supply–demand gap illustrates that available generating capacity is projected to not meet the growing demand.
For this reason, it is likely that standalone projects will continue to make up the majority of utility-scale battery storage projects in 2021 at least. More than 2.5GW of planned utility-scale project capacity had been built up in Ireland at the end of 2020, comprised mostly of large-scale >20MW capacity sites.
Growing political turbulence, especially in the northern part of Shan State, has drastically narrowed the chances of progress on a host of large-scale projects. Subscribe for ads-free reading
There are mainly four rivers crossing Myanmar—Ayeyarwady, Thanlwin, Chindwin and Sittaung rivers. Myanmar is a struggling country to develop with lower–middle income of $1455 per capital in 2017. The GDP rate increases to 6.7% in 2017–2018, and it is predicted that it is going to be increased 7% in 2019–2020.

The government of Chile will launch a bill this year to procure large-scale energy storage systems for commissioning in 2026 totalling US$2 billion of investment, on top of 5GWh already being sought for 2027-28. Speaking to the country''s parliament last week, president Gabriel Boric said the
Global investment in battery energy storage exceeded USD 20 billion in 2022, predominantly in grid-scale deployment, which represented more than 65% of total spending in 2022. After solid growth in 2022, battery energy storage investment is expected to hit another record high and exceed USD 35 billion in 2023, based on the existing pipeline of
Large-scale Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are gradually playing a very relevant role within electric networks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The high energy density of Li-ion based batteries in combination with a
The electric grid network has been atacked and damaged amid ongoing conflict. The authorities claimed that the power grid has been atacked 229 times between February 2021 and April 2023. About 77 percent of existing power plants are within 10 kilometers of conflict-related fatalities.
Image: Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne. Poland looks set to lead battery storage deployments in Eastern Europe, with 9GW of battery storage projects offered grid connections and 16GW registered for the ongoing capacity market auction. Eastern Europe has languished behind other regions in developing battery storage, but this is set to
With this partnership, GEAPP will facilitate the development of 100 new solar projects across Myanmar, supplying a total of 57 MW of clean electricity. This initiative, which will

China''s increasing pressure over the suspended Myitsone dam in ethnic Kachin state has highlighted Myanmar''s dilemma in choosing between environmental protection and safeguarding the great
The first U.S. large-scale energy storage facility was the Rocky River Pumped Storage plant in 1929, on the Housatonic River in Connecticut.2,3 Research in energy storage has increased dramatically, especially after the first U.S. In 2021, 1,595 energy storage projects were operational globally, with 125 projects under construction. 51% of
Myanmar''s subsequent National League for Democracy (NLD)-led civilian government first questioned and then reduced several high-profile Chinese projects worth billions of dollars. In 2018, the NLD favorably amended Myanmar''s ownership agreement with China for the crucial deep-water port at Kyaukphyu from a 15% stake to 30% for
In October last year a Form S-4 filed by Novus Capital Corporation II disclosed that Energy Vault — which to date has only built one system, a 5MW demonstration project in Switzerland — had not yet perfected its large-scale energy storage system platform technology, called EVx, nor had it closed any sales.
Large-scale energy storage used for renewable energy integration is also on the rise, with about 200MW/250MWh in operation today and 700MWh more projects announced. This is driven partly by the introduction of so-called ''Innovation Tenders'' by the regulatory Bundesnetzagentur, which award contracts to projects that
The International Renewable Energy Agency predicts that with current national policies, targets and energy plans, global renewable energy shares are expected to reach 36% and 3400 GWh of stationary energy storage by 2050. However, IRENA Energy Transformation Scenario forecasts that these targets should be at 61% and 9000 GWh to
Electricity can be stored in a variety of ways, including in batteries, by compressing air, by making hydrogen using electrolysers, or as heat. Storing hydrogen in solution-mined salt caverns will be the best way to meet the long-term storage need as it has the lowest cost per unit of energy storage capacity. Great Britain has ample geological
