South Africa had 1,604.6kW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 3,519.9kW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in South Africa, according to GlobalData’s power database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global energy storage segment.
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.
