Technical FAQs 4

Does South Africa have a battery storage system?

Matzner notes that South Africa has already made some progress in the deployment of battery storage systems, which can typically provide up to four to five hours of energy storage.

Does Scatec have a solar-plus-storage site in South Africa?

Scatec’s Kenhardt solar-plus-storage site in South Africa (above), which went online at the end of 2023. Image: Scatec. Africa’s energy storage market has seen a boom since 2017, having risen from just 31MWh to 1,600MWh in 2024, according to trade body AFSIA Solar’s latest report.

Why is energy storage important in South Africa?

But as South Africa changes its model for producing and distributing electricity, the demand for energy storage solutions is likely to rise. As coal-fired power plants are decommissioned and renewable energy sources – typically intermittent – are increasingly adopted, reliable and efficient energy storage is coming more and more to the fore.

What are South Africa's storage opportunities?

Similarly, the recycling of batteries could be another area of opportunity for South Africa. Notwithstanding these challenges, given the size of the rollout of renewable energy required to meet South Africa’s needs, the storage opportunity remains a significant one.
