The City of Cape Town has launched construction of a 7-10 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Atlantis, in the Western Cape Province. To be developed at a cost of approximately $11.3 million, construction is expected to be completed within a year.
Updated 1st July 2025 – The Red Sands Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), set to be Africa’s largest of its kind, has officially reached commercial close. Developed by Globeleq, which is 30% owned by Norfund, in partnership with African Rainbow Energy, the 153 MW/612 MWh project was signed off in June 2025 in Cape Town.
“The battery energy storage system (BESS) project aims to serve as a pilot project to eventually incorporate energy storage within the city’s network,” explains CoCT Energy MMC Xanthea Limberg. “By co-locating the battery system at the Atlantis PV plant, it allows the solar PV and BESS to operate in synergy as a hybrid plant.
