Oslo, 30 November 2023: Scatec ASA has been awarded preferred bidder status for the Mogobe (Ferrum) battery energy storage project totalling 103 MW/ 412 MWh under the first bid window
Oslo, 30 November 2023: Scatec ASA has been awarded preferred bidder status for the Mogobe (Ferrum) battery energy storage project totalling 103 MW/ 412 MWh under the first bid window of the Battery Energy Storage Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (BESIPPPP) in South Africa, by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy.
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.
Eight storage facilities in closest proximity to dedicated substations – Mercury, Carmel, Hermes, Ngwedi, Midas, Marang, Bighorn and Ararat, in the North West supply area – will be procured. Under BW2, the IPP Office is aiming to procure 77 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) at every substation, each with four hours of storage.
The Economic Development commitments remain a cornerstone of the IPP Programmes. The procurer, in respect of the procurement programme, will be the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy and the electricity must be purchased by Eskom Holdings SOC Limited designated as the buyer.
Within its Risk Mitigation IPP Procurement Programme, South Africa also signed project agreements with six hybrid solar PV, wind and battery storage projects that could see more than 400 MW of capacity added.
In South Africa, battery storage is increasingly seen as a key pillar to help provide grid stability and integrate variable renewables given its ageing coal-fired power fleet and grid.
