Powering flexibility: setting BESS projects up for success image

Energy storage is becoming critical to balancing grids with high levels of renewables, but long-term project success hinges on disciplined integration, smart operation and the right partnerships.

Energy storage is increasingly seen as a key element of the renewable energy transition. According to DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook (ETO) report of 2025, grid flexibility tops agendas as renewables surge, predicting that, ‘from 2030 onwards, flexibility in the energy system will increasingly be supplied by storage.’

The report also forecasts that solar, both with and without storage, and wind will make up 32% of the global power mix by 2030.

China, the United States and the United Kingdom have emerged as particularly prominent players in the global storage market. In specific regions, such as OECD Pacific, the DNV ETO report highlights, ‘grid modernization and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are advancing rapidly; Australia leads with over 10 GWh in the pipeline.’
