The State of Qatar has begun a pilot project to store grid-scale power using a 1MW/4MWh lithium-ion energy storage system— a first for the state that relies completely on power from gas and oil.
[pdf] The BESS stores excess energy generated by wind farms and releases it when needed, stablising the grid and maximising the utilisation of renewable energy sources through advanced frequency regulati.
[pdf] Kosovo will be the first country in the Balkan region to invest in a 170 MW battery storage system which will stabilise energy fluctuations by addressing imbalances between supply and consumption.
[pdf] The $20 million BESS project in Malawi aims to cut carbon emissions by 10,000 tons annually and boost economic growth by enhancing the uptake of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
[pdf] Well, Tirana's new 84MW/168MWh battery storage system – the largest in Southeast Europe – is flipping that script. Operational since February 2025, this $73 million project stabilizes a grid where renewable energy penetration jumped from 12% to 34% in just three years [4].
[pdf] As reported by Tech Xplore, officials in Iraq have completed a solar plant that will be capable of producing up to 300 megawatts of electricity at its peak. Located in the desert in the Karbala province, the solar plant represents the start of a new era of energy production in the country.
