Battery Energy Storage Systems in Rural and Remote Power Systems

4 Dec 2024

5 min read

Providing reliable and resilient power to remote locations such as islands, farms, indigenous communities and isolated villages presents unique challenges and opportunities. These areas often lack access to centralized power grids, making them heavily reliant on diesel generators, which are expensive and difficult to fuel, environmentally harmful, and can be logistically challenging to maintain.

Whether it’s an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a resort in the Gulf of Mexico, or an isolated village in rural Myanmar, access to secure and reliable electricity not only enables lighting, refrigeration, and connectivity but also allows for significant economic and social development of these communities.  

Rural and remote areas face multiple energy challenges that need to be addressed, including:

  • Limited Grid Connectivity 
  • Reliance on Diesel Generators
  • High Costs of Energy Infrastructure
