Ukrainian private utility DTEK has energised the largest battery storage project in the war-torn country and one of the biggest ones in Eastern Europe. DTEK partnered with American energy firm Fluence Energy Inc. The 200 MW/400 MWh installation spans six sites ranging from 20 MW to 50 MW and connected to the power grid in the Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. . The energy operator said the project, developed with the US's Fluence Energy, is the largest in Ukraine to date with the ability to power 600,000 apartments for two hours.

ESSs in Malaysia According to the Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) report, the global energy storage capacity is expected to exceed 1000 GW by 2040. BNEF revised its forecast for global energy storage to a 122-fold increase, from 9 MW globally in 2019 to 1095 GW by 2040.
Consumers will be directly enrolled for the Net Energy Metering (NEM) program, as stated by the government of Malaysia in 2018 . The NEM mechanism is introduced to compensate users at a selling cost of 31 cents/kWh while the power buying price is more than 50 cents/kWh.
BNEF revised its forecast for global energy storage to a 122-fold increase, from 9 MW globally in 2019 to 1095 GW by 2040. According to the report, energy storage will become a viable option for power generation or network reinforcement, where 40 % of the world's electricity will be made up by renewable sources by 2040.
Many strong economic countries such as China and the USA are investing in ESS installations in their grid systems, indicating the high market potential of ESSs . The USA has installed more than 21 GW of ESSs and their annual energy storage market grew by 243 % in 2015.
Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. 5 million) in cross-border energy infrastructure, led by a grant for the Aguayo II pumped-storage project in Spain, alongside smaller allocations for upgrades such as the Čierny Váh pumped-storage plant in Slovakia. The goal is to improve how Spain uses renewable energy. . Spain's ministry for the ecological transition will award EUR 818. Andalusia, Galicia and Castilla-La Mancha concentrate the majority of the funds. Energy storage has experienced an unprecedented boost in Spain during the third quarter of 2025.

Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. This plan will add 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of storage. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems.
For stakeholders in battery storage, thermal storage, and pumped hydro, this program offers not only financial backing but also long-term stability and political support. Spain has launched a €700 million energy storage program to support battery, thermal, and pumped hydro projects, aiming to deploy 2.5–3.5 GW of capacity.
Spain has taken a decisive step in strengthening its energy infrastructure with the launch of a €700 million support scheme aimed at expanding large-scale energy storage across the country.
Investing in energy storage helps Spain meet its climate goals. This includes achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Storing renewable energy instead of wasting it helps the country rely less on fossil fuels. This also cuts down greenhouse gas emissions. Pumped hydro, thermal storage, and battery systems are effective technologies.
