Utility EWEC (Emirates Water and Electricity Company) has invited developers to submit expressions of interest (EOI) for a 400MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the UAE.
It follows EWEC's recommendation made this time last year that the UAE should deploy 300MW/300MWh of BESS capacity by 2026. It didn't reveal when it hoped the 400MW (MWh capacity undisclosed) would come online, so it's not clear whether this is part of a longer-term target or whether its forecasted needs have increased.

The utilities sector in Malaysia is witnessing significant advancements in battery energy storage systems (BESS), evolving from concept to reality with notable projects underway. The first large-scale BESS project is currently being constructed in Sabah, a pivotal development for the country's energy landscape.
The project marks Peninsular Malaysia's first utility-scale battery storage project. Back in February, Tenaga had talked about a battery pilot project that it said would be “operated by Grid System Operator (GSO), and overseen by the Energy Commission”.
In a recent interview, outgoing TNB president and CEO Datuk Seri Baharin Din highlighted the substantial storage requirements, estimating that around 500MW of storage capacity would be needed for every 1GW of solar capacity. This underscores the scale of investment required to fully integrate renewable energy into Malaysia's energy mix.
