Asia Cement Corp. (ACC) plans an investment of TWD2.52bn (US$84m) in a large-scale battery energy storage project in Kaohsiung in Taiwan. The 100MW facility is part of ACC’s diversification strategy beyond cement and will join Taipower’s energy storage system. The investment will be phased in starting 4Q25, funded through a mix of internal capital and bank loans. Taiwan is actively developing its battery energy storage market, particularly for grid-scale applications, driven by the need to integrate renewable energy sources and enhance grid stability (photo: NHOA Energy, installation of a large battery storage system in Taiwan).
