Energy Storage Solutions

Summary of Energy Storage Solutions

Battery-based energy storage solutions in particular are: modular, easily scalable, able to match service requirements and relatively quick to deploy.

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. The project represents a blueprint for a carbon-neutral, renewable future power grid, providing baseload power from renewables for the first time, with potential to power approximately 180,000 South African homes and reduce CO₂ emissions by roughly 573,105 tonnes annually.
