Where is South Africa's biggest solar plant?

South Africa’s biggest solar plant is Scatec’s Kenhardt hybrid facility in the Northern Cape. It has a solar generation capacity of 540MW and battery energy storage totalling 225MW, or 1,140MWh. However, it is dwarfed by the Urumqi solar farm in the Xinjiang province in China — the world’s largest solar power facility, with a capacity of 3.5GW.

Is Scatec ready to generate electricity in South Africa?

We are ready to generate electricity and play a vital role in advancing South Africa’s green energy production with this innovative hybrid energy solution,” adds Fourie. Scatec holds 51% of the equity and H1 Holdings, our local Black Economic Empowerment partner, owns the remaining 49%.

What is Scatec Kenhardt solar plant?

The Scatec Kenhardt Solar Plant is a significant milestone in renewable energy for South Africa, providing a reliable power source for the residents of the Kenhardt region. It is designed and built as an advanced hybrid solar and battery storage technology. The solar capacity includes 540 MW, and battery storage is 225MW/1,140MWh. 13.

What is a hybrid solar and battery storage plant?

A hybrid solar and battery storage plant integrates solar and battery technologies, overcoming intermittency challenges and bolstering grid stability. With the ability to deliver reliable power in low or no sunlight, the integrated storage enhances overall reliability.
