The battery energy storage initiative will significantly enhance South Africa’s power infrastructure, alleviating grid congestion and increasing renewable energy integration. It aims to aid South Africa’s low-carbon energy transition and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through energy arbitrage and ancillary services.
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.
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.
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.
