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.
