The impact of these battery storage tenders on South Africa’s energy landscape is expected to be substantial. Let’s delve into some key analytics and projections: By the end of the third tender, South Africa is projected to have a total battery energy storage capacity of approximately 3,183 MWh.
The first battery storage tender, initiated by Eskom, marked the beginning of a new era in South Africa’s energy sector. This tender was a part of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, which aims to integrate renewable energy sources into the national grid.
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 of dispatchable battery storage capacity to the national grid, and are now expected to enter into power purchase agreements (PPAs) negotiations with Eskom.
As South Africa grapples with the challenge of meeting its growing energy demands while transitioning to cleaner energy sources, Eskom’s initiatives in battery storage are critical for ensuring grid stability and reducing reliance on coal-fired power plants.
By the end of the third tender, South Africa is projected to have a total battery energy storage capacity of approximately 3,183 MWh. This capacity is sufficient to power an estimated 250,000 homes during peak demand periods. The graph below illustrates the growth in battery storage capacity over the three tenders.
