The Cabinet has approved new energy and petroleum policies and a transport financing model, as President Ruto cites daily load-shedding and targets 10,000MW capacity and revived road and rail projects. key driver for economic growth. With over 25% of the population still lacking. The National Energy Policy 2025–2034 is therefore a tool in spearheading our country's vision of equitable energy transition, focusing on innovation, resilience, and sustainability to meet the needs of all Kenyans. They have fostered regulatory reforms and incentivized investment in the energy sector and laid the foundation for energy governance in the country bot nd 9. However, when examined critically, the policy reveals key gaps — particularly regarding its environmental commitments and the protection of community rights. This policy must reflect the fact that we need to.

The framework addresses the grids immediate and near-term needs by supporting the incorporation of electricity storage from the immediate up until 2040 and presents 10 government actions to support the role of electricity storage systems in Ireland's energy transition, identifying the key stakeholders and timelines for these actions.
ATLANTA - The Georgia Public Service Commission on Tuesday approved Georgia Power's 2025 Integrated Resource Plan, greenlighting a roadmap to meet the state's growing energy demand while emphasizing reliability, affordability and cleaner generation sources.
Microgrids offer a localized, resilient, and efficient energy solution, but their growth hinges on strategic policy support across interconnection, rate structures, incentives, and regulatory frameworks. At the federal level, several policies and programs support microgrid. Designing effective policy frameworks for the implementation of microgrids in developing countries is crucial for advancing sustainable energy access. This capability enhances energy resilience, reduces transmission losses. Policies should focus on regulatory clarity, financial support, and technical standards to support microgrid sustainability and adoption.
New regulations in the Dominican Republic require 50% energy storage for renewable energy projects with capacities between 20 and 200 MW, but the lack of a clear critical service compensation mechanism has raised investor concerns. May 2026 represents a critical inflection point: mandatory storage requirements are now in full effect, the country's landmark 600MW/1. 2GWh BESS-as-a-Service. The Dominican Republic has firmly established its commitment to a modernized and resilient energy grid, setting a crucial target of deploying 300 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) by 2027. Santos said a renewable energy tender this year, involving the National Energy Commission (CNE), would be. The Dominican Republic is one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America. Thus, energy security is of the utmost importance. In contrast to the Latin American and Caribbean region's concerns.

Nairobi, Kenya – July 2025 — The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has officially commissioned its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to power a modular data center in Nairobi, marking a major milestone in the country's clean energy transition. key driver for economic growth. The National Energy Policy 2025–2034 is therefore a tool in spearheading our country's vision of equitable energy transition, focusing on innovation, resilience, and sustainability driving green industrialization. Digital Resilience: The BESS. These Regulations shall apply to the National Government and its entities; county governments and their entities, development partners, private-sector entities, public benefit organizations and any other relevant stakeholder that is involved in the identification, planning, implementation and.

The bill, introduced by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, proposes a clear policy framework to accelerate the shift from fossil-fuel vehicles to electric alternatives — a move that blends environmental ambition with economic strategy. It outlines clear objectives, incentives, and penalties to drive compliance and adoption. Unlike the 2019 phase-out attempt, this version is more incremental.
Kosovo intends to build the first battery energy storage system (BESS) in the region, which will have 170 MW of capacity and come online in 2028, a senior government policy advisor told Montel on Thursday.
The South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP-the project), ADB's first in Kiribati"s energy sector, will finance climate-resilient solar photovoltaic generation, a battery energy storage system, and will support institutional capacity building including the development of an inclusive and gender-sensitive renewable energy enabling framework while addressing barriers to private sector investment.
This policy remains in place today, but at the end of April, the Greek parliament voted in a new law (Law 5106/2024) that allows the government to hold auctions for asset owners who are willing to accept higher power curtailment rates for their projects than usual, as well as installations that include energy storage systems.
As of December 2013, the total installed photovoltaic capacity in Greece reached 2,419.2 MWp of which 987.2 MWp were installed in the period between January–September 2013 despite the financial crisis. Greece ranks 5th worldwide with regard to per capita installed PV capacity.
The new law has also put an end to feed-in tariffs for solar projects up to 500 kW in size. Developers of such installations with the necessary licenses can sign contracts with Greece's Renewable Energy Sources Operator and sell the generated electricity in the electricity market at a feed-in tariff of €65.73 ($71.37)/MWh.
Greece has been actively focusing on energy storage since the emergence of the RES “boom” in 2020. The country recognised the pivotal role of energy storage in the energy transition and emphasised its importance in the first iteration of the country's National Energy and Climate Plan in 2019.
This policy remains in place today, but at the end of April, the Greek parliament voted in a new law (Law 5106/2024) that allows the government to hold auctions for asset owners who are willing to accept higher power curtailment rates for their projects than usual, as well as installations that include energy storage systems.
The new law does not define the percentage of electricity curtailment for awarded projects in future auctions. Instead, the new law allows Greece's Ministry of the Environment and Energy to separately set the percentage of electricity curtailment for awarded projects for each new auction.
To be eligible to participate in the first auction, projects must hold a valid Energy Storage Licence while a set of other eligibility criteria (including soundness of the technology used and minimum power injection capacity) must be met.
