The World Bank recently approved a $20 million loan facility for Central Asian energy storage projects, with Khujand being a primary beneficiary. Tajik authorities envision scaling up to 500 MWh by 2030, potentially connecting with neighboring Uzbekistan's power grid.
[pdf] The BESS project will have an installed capacity of around 30 MWh, which will be installed at ENGIE Energía Perú’s ChilcaUno Thermoelectric Power Plant, and will allow the plant to operate at full capacity, which translates into more efficient energy for the country, as well as contributing to improve the stability of the national power grid.
[pdf] China’s Risen Energy is deploying containerized BESS units across Brazil’s northeast—enough to power 70,000 homes during blackouts [2]. Local startups are aggregating rooftop solar + storage into Brazil’s first VPP network, with 200MW planned by Q3 2026.
