BESS includes multiple conventional and novel battery chemistries. The study identified seven2 commercially available and eight emerging3 battery options that are potentially relevant to Africa’s current and future grid-scale energy storage requirements. Among the commercial technologies, lithium-ion batteries are best known.
As noted by AFSIA Solar, one of the most notable solar-plus-storage developments in Africa is Norway-based independent power producer (IPP) Scatec’s 225MW/1,140MWh Kenhardt project in South Africa. The site started operation in late 2023 (pictured above).
