Report Launch: Energy Storage at Scale: Insights from Global Regulatory Practice and WBG Operations

Watch our ESMAP webinar with Valérie Levkov, World Bank Group Vice President for Infrastructure, as keynote speaker to explore how energy storage can accelerate clean energy deployment. As countries expand wind and solar power, storage helps balance grids, maintain reliability, and integrate more renewable energy. Yet scaling it up often depends less on technology than on addressing institutional, business models and regulatory barriers. This session will share findings from two new World Bank Group reports—Remunerating Energy Storage Services: A Global Perspective and Evidence to Action: Energy Storage Deployment in World Bank Group Operations. Drawing on global market practices, project experience, and practitioners’ insights, it will explore how countries can improve market access, create more predictable revenues, and design regulations that recognize and compensate the services storage provides. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how storage can strengthen grid flexibility and resilience—and which regulatory and business model choices can help make storage investments bankable and scalable.
