The Project will be implemented at approximately 17 sites, located within or adjacent to existing distribution substations of Eskom, across four provinces of South Africa. The Battery Energy Storage Project (Project) provides a solution to address both challenges.
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.
p metals, could establish South Africa in the global value chain for battery storage technology. To build o the countries potential, visionary leadership is needed from key public and ri ate stakeholde
The battery markets analysed are South Africa (section 3.1), Southern Africa (section 3.2), also referred to as the regional market, and the Global Market (section 3.3) for the period 2020 to 2030. The total battery market is classified into stationary and mobile (e-mobility) storage. The base year for the study is 2020.
Special Economic Zones (SEZ) could play an important part in the development of local battery value chains in South Africa. For example, the vanadium electrolyte plant of Bushveld Energy is being established in the Coega SEZ in the Eastern Cape, located at the port of Coega.
As a leading producer of key battery minerals, South Africa has numerous strengths that could be exploited to enable greater participation in this segment of the value chain. An overview of the mining SWOT analysis is presented below in Table 11.
