Emerging markets Storage Project Development Financing

BESS in emerging markets: real-world project lessons

with Mark Roesink as moderator (FMO) , Amir Hamraz (ACWA Power) , Aaron Brose (Globeleq Africa Ltd)

 

Energy storage is increasingly recognized as a critical enabler of power system stability, renewable integration, and grid resilience, yet developing bankable battery projects in emerging markets remains complex.

This webinar was held in February 2026, but the recordings are still available!

This webinar brings together insights from large-scale energy storage projects across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, offering a practical look at what it really takes to move from concept to commissioning. Through three regional case examples, the session will explore how market context shapes project design, risk allocation, and commercial viability.

Key topics include:

  • The differences between stand-alone and co-located energy storage projects
  • Regulatory readiness and market design across regions
  • Grid connection and permitting constraints
  • The most common hurdles encountered on the road to financial close.

 

Speakers will also unpack revenue models and business cases that are currently proving bankable, as well as those that still struggle.
