Storage: The Engine of the New Renewable Grid

Storage

Energy storage has become a key component in the renewable energy transition and a critical pillar for the stability of the global power system. These solutions enable the large-scale integration of solar and wind generation and ensure system reliability during demand peaks and periods of low renewable output.

According to projections by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electrical storage capacity must increase more than six times by 2030, reaching approximately 1,500 GW of installed capacity. This expansion is a fundamental requirement to ensure the stability and operability of power systems with high penetration of variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Storage deployment is positioned as the strategic technology with the highest commercial adoption rate over the next decade, enabling optimized power systems with declining marginal costs and strong alignment with global decarbonization targets through the reduction of fossil fuel emissions and enhanced system flexibility.

Next-generation battery technologies make it possible to store excess energy and dispatch it during peak hours, reducing curtailment, stabilizing market prices, and maximizing the efficiency of every green megawatt generated. In parallel, Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) technologies open new pathways for industrial decarbonization and energy independence, particularly in isolated markets and large-scale power systems.

The energy storage team works in close collaboration with the advisory and engineering teams, leveraging ATA’s extensive experience in feasibility studies, due diligence, engineering design, owner’s engineering & construction supervision, and commissioning, with a track record of more than 4,500 projects delivered.

BESS: Battery Energy Storage Systems

BESS solutions, predominantly based on lithium-ion batteries, have become the leading technology for utility-scale and commercial energy storage deployment. Beyond their fast response times and technological maturity, these systems enable the management of renewable energy surpluses, the provision of ancillary services, and real-time grid stabilization. The emergence of solid-state batteries and sodium-ion variants is redefining the boundaries of efficiency, power density, and cycle life, paving the way for increasingly robust and cost-effective installations.

Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES)

To address flexibility challenges and extended energy supply requirements, the sector is rapidly advancing long-duration energy storage technologies (exceeding 8 hours). This category includes flow batteries (vanadium, zinc-bromine), thermal storage systems using molten salts and hot water, compressed air solutions, hydrogen, pumped storage, and hybrid systems that combine multiple generation and storage technologies. These solutions can deliver energy for more than ten hours, enabling large-scale renewable integration while providing industrial and strategic backup over extended periods. Innovation in LDES is transforming grid manageability and resilience, with applications across both mature energy markets and emerging growth regions.
