Technical FAQs 4

Why is battery storage important in South Africa?

In South Africa, battery storage is increasingly seen as a key pillar to help provide grid stability and integrate variable renewables given its ageing coal-fired power fleet and grid.

What is the largest battery energy storage system in Africa?

Unveiled in 2023, thanks to $195 million from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and $220 million from AfDB, this flagship project represents the largest battery energy storage system (BESS) on the African continent.

What is a battery energy storage system?

BESS, or Battery Energy Storage Systems, stores electricity in batteries for on-demand power supply. The phrase “battery system” encompasses battery design, engineering, and deployment. Various energy sources like gas, nuclear, wind, and solar can charge BESS, making it crucial for stabilising grids and enhancing renewable energy reliability.

Will solar batteries help South Africa's energy grid?

South Africa’s state-owned utility Eskom anticipates that these projects will showcase the effectiveness of batteries in facilitating the integration of renewable energy into the country's energy mix, while simultaneously easing the strain on the national electricity grid.
