Korea 2025
Korea aims to boost the global competitiveness of lithium battery-based energy storage systems (ESS) and develop non-lithium, long-duration energy storage technologies.
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.
Korea aims to boost the global competitiveness of lithium battery-based energy storage systems (ESS) and develop non-lithium, long-duration energy storage technologies. Using large-scale batteries, Korea aims to stabilise the grid during periods of high demand while smoothing out fluctuations in VRE supply.
Research efforts also focus on managing energy demand; using energy data to strengthen real-time demand response; using data to promote new energy services; and securing supply and demand flexibility in the distribution system. Today, 26 reactors with a total of 26 GW of installed capacity provide about one-third of Korea's electricity.
The South Korean government, under the auspices of its carbon neutrality and energy transition goals, has launched the 2025 1st ESS Central Contract Market auction, marking an evolution in the country's battery energy storage system strategy. South Korea has committed to increasing renewable energy capacity while maintaining grid stability.
