Technical FAQs 4

How much does a battery storage project cost in South Africa?

The commitment to battery storage solutions is becoming increasingly significant as South Africa faces ongoing energy challenges and seeks to augment the integration of renewable power sources. The estimated cost of the Mogobe BESS project stands at ZAR 3bn (US$170m), with the primary funding — about 90% — sourced from non-recourse project debt.

Does South Africa have a battery storage tender programme?

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.

Does Scatec ASA have a battery storage facility in South Africa?

Norwegian PV developer Scatec ASA has switched on a hybrid solar and battery storage facility in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. A 540 MW solar and 225 MW/1,140 MWh battery storage hybrid project has commenced operations in South Africa.

Why is battery storage important in South Africa?

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.
