BESS Consortium first-mover countries will be supported by resource partners including GEAPP, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), RMI, Africa50, Masdar, Infinity Power, COP28 Presidency, AMEA Power, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Net Zero World, and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), with additional partners and countries expected to join.
Jonas Gahr Støre, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Norway and Co-chair the Global Leadership Council said during the launch, "The Global Leadership Council was formed to expedite change, and bring forward transformative initiatives that will cut emissions, create jobs and expand access to clean and affordable energy in low- and middle-income countries. Three months ago, we committed to establishing the BESS Consortium, and already we have countries, resource partners and champions on board. This is only the beginning, we must continue to move at collective speed and scale.''''
Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation and Co-chair of the Global Leadership Council said, "Without sufficient storage capacity, countries will be unable to add renewable energy to their grids at the scale needed to reduce emissions and create economic opportunity. The BESS Consortium is an example of the sort of big, bold action required to break down the barriers keeping so many people and communities from joining the climate transformations underway."
His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana"Recently, I unveiled Ghana''s new Energy Transition and Investment Plan, a roadmap for fighting climate change and fostering economic development in tandem. Our commitment to the BESS Consortium is a bold and concrete step as Ghana works toward a sustainable industrial revolution that will help our nation prosper and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060."
Ilan Goldfajn, President of the Inter-American Development Bank"Collaboration is crucial to effectively address the challenges of climate change at the scale we need. Supporting green infrastructure like BESS will build more sustainable and inclusive economies for everyone. Together with the IDB, GEAPP''s Global Leadership Council is working to build a more prosperous future for Latin American and the Caribbean region."
Jon Creyts, CEO, RMI"Solving a problem as complex as climate change requires collaboration. The BESS Consortium is a new way of working to tackle this challenge together, partnering across governments, utilities, regulators, investors, corporates, communities, and NGOs. RMI looks forward to supporting the BESS Consortium''s first-mover countries by providing technical expertise to help deploy battery energy storage and create roadmaps to scale."
Guangzhe Chen, Vice President for Infrastructure, World Bank"To make progress toward climate goals and alleviate energy poverty in emerging economies, we must think creatively to forge partnerships. The BESS Consortium is such an innovative partnership that leverages the expertise of finance and technology partners to advance deployment of battery energy storage at scale. As one of our first contributions, we are making a toolkit available that provides guidance to policymakers and project developers on best practices for implementing solar-plus-storage projects."
Per Heggenes, CEO, IKEA Foundation"The BESS Consortium is an opportunity to leverage philanthropic partnerships with the public and private sectors to unlock renewable energy solutions at scale. We cannot keep global warming at or below 1.5 degrees without a rapid and sustained decrease in global emissions. The consortium will demonstrate how supporting renewable energy infrastructure can help countries lower their emissions and expand energy access for the people who need it most."
Andrew Steer, President and CEO, Bezos Earth Fund"The deployment of 5GW energy storage promises to have transformative impact. The BESS Consortium exemplifies the power of collaborative, multi-stakeholder partnerships and how philanthropic dollars can be put to work to mitigate risks and boost climate innovation. This work, if done well, can help provide energy access to millions across the globe.”
Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO and Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All and Co-Chair of UN-Energy"We cannot achieve net-zero emissions without tackling ongoing development challenges. The quickest way to economic growth is through energy access," said Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO of Sustainable Energy for All. "We have the solutions. The BESS Consortium will help close energy gaps and prove that a just transition is possible. With the right tools, developing countries can transform from climate victims into climate leaders."
Mohamed Ismail Mansour, Chairman, Infinity Power "Battery storage will be crucial in the effort to decarbonize and lower emissions from energy production. For Africa in particular, it is an ideal technology, enabling us to capture more of the abundant wind and solar energy available and use it to provide clean, affordable power at scale. We are proud to be members of the Consortium and look forward to continuing to support this vital work."
Nayer Fouad, CEO, Infinity Power "Our own portfolio of renewable energy projects already includes battery storage facilities in Senegal, and we hope to add more in the coming years as we work towards our goal of 10GW of clean energy across Africa by 2030. Working as part of the Consortium will help us accelerate our goals for battery storage, and enable countries across Africa to access more clean, affordable energy more quickly."
Alain Ebobissé, CEO, Africa50"The Battery Energy Storage Systems program will be transformative for Africa as it will help increase the penetration rate of intermittent renewable power on the continent. We are pleased to count several African countries among the first movers of this initiative, and we look forward to contributing Africa50’s strong project development and financing expertise to help scale up renewable energy investments in Africa and accelerate the continent''s path to Net-Zero."
Sir Alok Sharma, COP26 President and Rockefeller Climate and Finance Fellow"Battery energy storage systems have the potential to supercharge the transition to renewables and increase access to clean energy. It is exciting to see national governments, the private sector, MDBs and philanthropy coming together to make this vision a reality, and I am proud to support the BESS Consortium."
