Nov 1, 2023 · South Korea has set an ambitious goal to rise alongside the United States and China as one of the top three powerhouses in the global energy storage system (ESS)

The terminal, built by the state-run Korea National Oil Corp. and SK Gas Ltd., is South Korea's first energy storage facility to host both oil and gas.
South Korea has set an ambitious goal to rise alongside the United States and China as one of the top three powerhouses in the global energy storage system (ESS) industry by 2036. The nation plans to capture 35% of the rapidly growing global ESS market, aiming to revitalize its currently stagnant domestic ESS industry.
In South Korea, various energy storage solutions are used, including pumped hydro, electrochemical batteries, and others. Depending on the energy storage technology and delivery characteristics, an ESS can serve many roles in the electricity market.
Notably, the electrochemical sector emerges as the most rapidly advancing form of storage technology in South Korea. In terms of battery storage system deployment, South Korea stands among the global leaders. By the end of 2022, the cumulative installed capacity of battery storage in the country had reached an impressive 4.1 gigawatts.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy unveiled plans for a nationwide tender to install 540 megawatts of battery energy storage systems (BESS), marking the country's first major government-led deployment of its kind. The project is part of a broader effort to modernize South Korea’s power grid and support the transition to renewable energy.
South Korea is ramping up its battery energy storage deployment with a new 540MW tender to stabilize the grid and support renewable energy growth. Learn how this move strengthens both domestic resilience and global market leadership.
