The South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP-the project), ADB's first in Kiribati"s energy sector, will finance climate-resilient solar photovoltaic generation, a battery energy storage syste.
This is a critical natural asset for South Tarawa and the project will help to reduce the decline in water availability and water quality as well as avoid the risk of further encroachment of incompatible land uses and contamination.
Source: ADB. III. 22. The present yearly electricity demand in South Tarawa is around 29 GWh and is expected to grow by 2% annually. The total power rating available to PUB is around 5MW, sufficient to meet the above yearly demand when all diesel generation sets are operational.
The capital costs include base costs covering civil and electrical works, equipment, logistics, transport, and physical contingencies. The battery energy storage system (BESS) to be installed accounts for a large portion (over 60%) of the cost and by itself does not produce any energy, but rather enables renewable energy to be utilized.
A new report from BDO South Africa reveals that the country's renewable energy sector is entering a transformative phase, driven by unprecedented private sector investment, regulatory reforms and urgent energy security needs. South Africa's geography favors wind, hydropower, and solar energy, making them the country's leading renewable sources. Over the past decade, the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has catalysed private investment. South Africa's renewable energy capacity grew from 3. The country recorded a CAGR of 14. The biggest annual growth was in 2016, when capacity surged by 49. Stagnation occurred in 2021 (0. According to the 2025 South African Renewable.
Switzerland is building one of the world's largest underground batteries, a massive energy storage project designed to support renewable power, strengthen grid stability and help meet growing AI-driven electricity demand. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that by 2050 almost 90% of electricity will be generated from renewable sources. How to quantify the storage demand? Optimise the energy system operation based on hourly demand / production. Utility EWS AG and developer MW Storage have completed the expansion of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Switzerland from 20MW to 28MW, making it the country's largest. The companies inaugurated the newly expanded project last week in a ceremony last week (24 May), which adds 8MW. Something unusual is happening deep beneath Switzerland, and it is not getting much attention outside energy circles yet. It is the largest operational system in the country today.
