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 commitment to battery storage solutions is becoming increasingly significant as South Africa faces ongoing energy challenges and seeks to augment the integration of renewable power sources. The estimated cost of the Mogobe BESS project stands at ZAR 3bn (US$170m), with the primary funding — about 90% — sourced from non-recourse project debt.
South Africa is aiming to procure utility-scale battery storage with two tender programmes: its Battery Storage IPP Procurement Programme as well as hybrid battery storage and variable renewables projects through its Risk Mitigation IPP Procurement Programme.
In answer, South Africa has launched a series of trailblazing green projects designed to tap its abundance of renewable energy sources, including the first concentrated solar power plants in Africa, and a fiercely competitive procurement program that has helped to halve the cost of solar and wind energy in just three years.
Our standardized solar power and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
