With 65% of Ethiopia's population still lacking reliable electricity access, this $150 million initiative aims to tackle two critical challenges simultaneously: intermittent power supply from renewable sources and rising diesel dependency. . ts of Addis Ababa (North,South,East and West). This policy aims to stabilize the city's power grid while accelerating its transition to renewable energy. For developers, investors, and sustainability advocates. . Enter the energy storage cabinet – the unsung hero that could keep Ethiopia's capital running when the grid stumbles. But who's really paying attention to these metal boxes? Think factories avoiding $10,000/minute production losses, hospitals keeping ventilators humming, and even coffee exporters. . Progress on target 8. 5 should be supported with policies to reduce energy intensity and increase its access (Target 7.

The Hungarian government has launched a residential energy storage program with a budget of HUF 100 billion. 5 million to support the purchase. . Hungary's subsidy scheme for energy storage will drive huge growth in battery energy storage system (BESS) deployments over the next few years. Hungary has 40MWh of grid-scale BESS online today but that will jump 3,400% to around 1,300MWh over the next few years thanks to opex and capex support. . Gergely Gulyás emphasized that this is key to ensuring that families with solar panels can remain self-sufficient in the long term and secure their own electricity supply, while also contributing to the sustainability of utility cost reductions. Anyone who has solar panels or undertakes to install. . Hungary Launches €2.

The Democratic Republic of Congo will benefit from a new technical assistance project funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) to help implement its National Energy Compact. The plan aims to raise the country's electricity access rate from 21. In a statement released on. . However, emerging thermal energy storage (TES) technologies, using low-cost and abundant materials like molten salt, concrete and refractory brick are being commercialized, offering decarbonized heat for industrial processes.

The public version of the resulting report of the effort is available here. The Democratic Republic of Congo's national electric-ity access rate is estimated at 19%. Less than 1% of the rural population and 41% of the urban population has energy access. Of the country's 10 million house-holds, only 1.6 million have have access to electricity.
3%ENERGY TRANSITION IN ACTIONGrand Inga hydropower project The DRC has vast solar, wind and hydropower potential, and the government committed to increasing the share of renewable energy in the national energy mix as part of its nation lly determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.

DRC has benefited from several grant-making and concessional financing schemes that have helped to unlock private capital for the off-grid solar sector. In 2021, the Swedish investment platform (Trine) en-tered a partnership with Altech, a leading company in the distribution sustainable energy products and ser-vices18.
The DRC aims to connect 32% of the country to elec-tricity by 2030. Meeting this challenge will require co-ordinated efforts from various stakeholders, support-ive policies and regulations, and technical assistance support to prospective projects in order to attract in-vestments.
Victoria's legislated energy storage targets are: at least 6. The energy storage targets will include short, medium and long duration energy storage systems, allowing energy to be moved around during the day to meet demand and to be supplied through longer duration imbalances. Short. . Determine the most efficient policy or investment options to provide enough long duration energy storage to meet Victoria's needs. 3 GW by 2035 to provide crucial support for more renewable capacity. In the future, much of our energy will be generated closer to where it is. . Victoria, Australia, will target the deployment of 6. State Premier Daniel Andrews and energy minister Lily D'Ambrosio announced the target yesterday. . The Victorian government's 'Cheaper, Cleaner, Renewable: Our Plan for Victoria's Electricity Future' roadmap sets out a plan for delivering the state's future energy systems needed to reach its 95% renewable generation target by 2035 and net zero target by 2045.

Victoria is the home of big batteries and has legislated storage targets of at least 2.6 GW by 2030 and 6.3 GW by 2035 to provide crucial support for more renewable capacity. Storage is a vital part of our electricity grid. In the future, much of our energy will be generated closer to where it is used and the way we use it will be more efficient.
Victoria's independent infrastructure adviser has warned the failure to secure long-duration storage capacity poses a high risk to the state's energy transition that could lead to higher prices, unreliable supply and increased demand for gas.
Victoria has 12 commissioned large-scale storage systems and 3 in commissioning – with a total output capacity of 1028 MW and storage capacity of more than 1.7 GWh. Storage capacity = how much total energy is stored in each battery. Output capacity = how much energy a battery can provide at a given time.
773 MW of commissioned energy storage capacity and 21 utility-scale storage projects with a combined capacity of 2,326 MW under construction or undergoing commissioning at 30 June 2025. Figure 4: Emissions from electricity generation in Victoria, 2013/14 to 2024/25
