4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Pretoria energy storage peaking power station project - BlackVolt Energy Storage”

What are South Africa's peaking power stations?

South Africa's peaking power stations are hydroelectric, hydro pumped storage and gas turbine stations. Peaking Generation consist of stations that operate during peak periods or when the system is constrained, which is when demand is higher than what your base-load can supply at the time.

What is a peaking power station?

The term peaking means we can react quickly to changes in demand and provide power to supplement that generated by base-load stations, which are coal and nuclear. South Africa's peaking power stations are hydroelectric, hydro pumped storage and gas turbine stations.
