SOUTH Africa is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition: trying to decarbonise its economy (move away from coal) and make sure that everyone has access to reliable and affordable energy. Storage of renewable energy is very important for this transition. Solar and wind power are not available.
South Africa is aiming to procure utility-scale battery storage with two tender programmes: its Battery Storage IPP Procurement Programme as well as hybrid battery storage and variable renewables projects through its Risk Mitigation IPP Procurement Programme. These tender programmes are designed to.
Battery storage systems offer a solution by storing surplus energy generated during peak production periods, releasing it when demand’s high. South Africa is searching for solutions to achieve economic growth and a sustainable future writes Tshwanelo Rakaibe, Senior Researcher: Energy Centre.
