Energy Storage Systems
Energy Storage System (ESS) is a game-changing technology which has the ability to store energy for later use. ESS not only addresses solar intermittency but also enhances grid resilience by actively managing mismatches between electricity supply and demand. These advantages are key enablers for Singapore to maximise solar as one of the four switches in Singapore's Energy Story.
Accelerating Energy Storage for
Singapore (ACCESS)
EMA launched the ACCESS programme to
facilitate ESS adoption in Singapore by promoting use cases and business
models. The programme also looks at securing space, marrying demand with
solution, and facilitating regulatory approvals for ESS deployment. ACCESS is led
by EMA in collaboration with partners. Please refer to the
ACCESS programme for more information or email us at
EMA_Enterprise_Development@ema.gov.sg for enquiry.
Beyond the ACCESS programme, EMA has also launched the following initiatives to facilitate the deployment of ESS in Singapore.
