In South Africa, Battery Energy Storage is a key aspect of the first-of-its-kind hybrid project, Oya. Straddling the Western and Northern Cape Provinces, the hybrid facility will offer 86MW wind and 155MW Solar PV dispatchable power, coupled with 92MW/ 242 MWh battery energy storage.
Out of those, three projects with a capacity of 150 MW have already begun commercial operation under a 15‑year PPA with Eskom, and the others have or were expected to commence construction in late 2023. The international community is also contributing to the development of battery storage systems in South Africa.
South Africa's state-owned utility Eskom anticipates that these projects will showcase the effectiveness of batteries in facilitating the integration of renewable energy into the country's energy mix, while simultaneously easing the strain on the national electricity grid.
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 November 2023, South Africa announced preferred bidders for the first Battery Energy Storage IPP Procurement Programme tender, which – if all implemented in full – would add 360 MW
