Anticipated growth in the demand for electricity is predicted to instigate the expansion of the peaking power plant market. Electricity, a form of energy that stems from the presence of charged particles, occurs either as a static charge or as a moving current. The surge in demand for electricity arises from a variety of factors including infrastructure upgrades, fluctuating fuel prices, and environmental guidelines. Peaking power plants deliver extra electricity in times of high demand or when other sources are not accessible, solidifying the reliability and balance in the grid. Their agile nature of ramping up and down enables them to effectively orchestrate the fluctuating energy supply and uphold the equilibrium between the supply and demand for electricity. To demonstrate, the International Energy Agency (IEA), an intergovernmental organization headquartered in France, projected that the global demand for electricity will grow around 4% in 2024, marking an increase from 2.5% in 2023. Hence, the rise in demand for electricity is a key catalyst for the growth of the peaking power plant market.

In the peaking power plant market, leading corporations are prioritizing the creation of inventive facilities, such as hybrid renewable power plants complete with high-tech battery energy storage systems (BESS). These hybrid renewable power plants that utilize both solar and wind energy, take advantage of the complementarity between wind and solar resources to deliver a more consistent power supply. For example, in September 2023, an energy enterprise based in India, ReNew Surya Ojas Private Limited, inaugurated its inaugural hybrid renewable power plant. This pioneering project fuses solar and wind energy with cutting-edge battery energy storage systems (BESS). The plant harmoniously merges solar and wind energy sources, making the most out of natural resources to produce electricity in Karnataka. This novel facility is poised to supply up to 300 MW of power to the grid during periods of peak demand. Thanks to the integration of battery energy storage systems, the plant is capable of storing surplus energy produced at peak times and releasing it during moments of highest demand.
