Largest energy storage projects in the Gulf, South Asia and South East Asia
124 storage records carry a capacity figure: 132.1 GW in total, of which 10.0 GW across 15 records is operating. Two lists, because a running plant and an announced one are not the same kind of fact. Every row links to its record and its public source.

Largest energy storage projects under construction or announced
Capacity as announced by the source. A concept-stage figure means a public source names the project and a number, nothing more.

Questions about the largest energy storage projects
What is the largest operating energy storage project in the Gulf, South Asia and South East Asia?+
By capacity on record, Pinnapuram hydroelectric plant in India at 1,680 MW. Solandor ranks operating plants by the capacity figure in the public source named on each record, whole project rather than any partner's share, and does not adjust for phased commissioning unless the source records the phases separately.
What is the largest energy storage project planned or under construction in the region?+
UP01 hydroelectric plant in India at 3,660 MW, at concept stage. Announced capacity is kept in a separate list from operating capacity here because the two are different kinds of fact: 10.0 GW of the 132.1 GW on record for storage is running.
How is this ranking compiled?+
From 124 published storage records that carry a capacity figure, sorted by that figure. Each record names the public dataset it came from and links the page it was taken from. Records without a stated capacity are not ranked; a missing figure is not zero.
Other rankings: solar plants, wind farms, hydropower plants, nuclear power plants, geothermal plants, bioenergy plants.
