South Africa's national power utility company, Eskom, has just unveiled the largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in South Africa. This is not only the first one of its kind in South Africa, but also a first on the African continent. Eskom officially opened the Hex BESS site at Worcester in Western Cape yesterday.
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.
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.
