Globeleq to build Africa''s largest standalone battery energy storage
Electricity storage is going to be key not only in helping South Africa meet its considerable industrial and domestic demand for energy but also across Africa as more renewable energy projects benefit from the advances our industry has made with BESS technology." British High Commissioner to South Africa, Antony Phillipson said:
Assessing the Viability of Utility-scale Energy Storage: Policy
energy storage deployment have already seen positive results with the deployment of stationary energy storage growing from about 3 GW in 2016 to 10 GW in 2021. It is envisaged that the installed capacity of stationary energy storage will reach 55 GW by 2030, showing an exponential growth (BNEF, 2017).
