“This first grid-scale energy storage programme in South Africa marks yet another important step towards the development of adequate electricity generation capacity to meet the country’s demand as set out in the Integrated Resource Plan (2019).
The second Battery Energy Storage Bid Window calls for 615 MW (2460 MWh) battery energy storage capacity and ancillary services in line with the power system services requirements as set out by the System Operator.
Following the signing of the agreements with these additional two projects South Africa has secured a total of 360 MW/1440 MWh storage capacity under the country’s first grid-scale bid window.
Project construction is expected to take no more than 24 months and the storage capacity is expected to come online no later than November 2026. The projects will attract a total investment of R4.7 billion. South African Entity Participation of around 42.23%, and BEE ownership of 40% has been achieved across both projects.
