This version of the roadmap follows the main tracks from the earlier one while including updates on most recent developments in battery research, development and commercialization. It
battery storage is similarly set to grow exponentially, to 4.7TWh per annum by 2030 (compared to about 700GWh in 2022).8 In South Africa, the rollout of renewable energy technologies is similarly set to increase rapidly, as the country aims to achieve energy security for all as well as decarbonise its electricity supply.
South Africa and Southern Africa battery markets are forecasted for the period 2021 to 2030. The forecast is covered under three scenarios namely: best-case, base-case, and worst case. Base-case: For this scenario, each of the market sub-segments is studied for a historical 3–5-year period to understand the market growth trend.
The Southern African region is well endowed with most of the key battery minerals (Table 8). Clearly this could offer potential opportunities for the establishment of upstream activities and potential collaboration between African countries in the battery value chain. Table 9.
There is currently no commercial production of battery cells in South Africa, but some recent development could offer opportunities for moving in this direction. Local company Metair is an established manufacturer and supplier of components and batteries to local automotive manufacturers and the aftermarket.
It is analyzed that the South African battery storage market can be expected to grow from 270 MWh in 2020 to 9,700 MWh in 2030 under the base-case scenario and 15,000 MWh under the best-case scenario. In both cases, the electric vehicle (EV) sector is expected to drive the bulk of this growth.
Technology Split: The South Africa battery technology split is covered Figure 18. In terms of the technology split, lead-acid chemistry drives the market during 2020 and 2021. The BTM segment predominantly uses the lead-acid type of batteries. Presently, the penetration of lithium-ion chemistry is <10% of the BTM segment.
