Scatec’s Kenhardt solar-plus-storage site in South Africa (above), which went online at the end of . Image: Scatec. Africa’s energy storage market has seen a boom since , having risen from just 31MWh to 1,600MWh in , according to trade body AFSIA Solar’s latest report.
What are the most popular solar-plus-storage developments in Africa?
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 (pictured above).
How has energy storage changed in ?
This has resulted in an increase in energy storage levels in recent years. In , the continent had around 50MWh of energy storage capacity installed. Since then, energy storage capacity tripled in and then experienced another 10-fold increase in . Image: AFSIA Solar.
Is solar PV a focal energy resource for Africa?
Solar PV, which, as reported by our colleagues at PV Tech in their write-up of the AFSIA report, reached 19.2GW in , increasing by 2.5GW on levels, is becoming the focal energy generation resource for Africa.
How can energy storage help fill the short-term supply gap?
The report notes this initiative, which is described as a means to fill the short-term supply gap, alleviate the electricity supply constraints, and reduce the extensive utilisation of diesel-based peaking electrical generators. Several initiatives and drivers for energy storage have also been introduced to African countries.
