FAQS 4

Why is energy storage important in South Africa?

Energy storage is considered crucial for South Africa’s energy goals, particularly in ensuring stable grids and integrating renewables. This is because while the country has great renewable energy sources, the problem is its load profile that does not align with the renewable energy generation profile.

Why is battery storage important in South Africa?

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.

Will solar batteries help South Africa's energy grid?

South Africa’s state-owned utility Eskom anticipates that these projects will showcase the effectiveness of batteries in facilitating the integration of renewable energy into the country's energy mix, while simultaneously easing the strain on the national electricity grid.

How has the energy sector changed in South Africa?

Progress has also been made in reforming the energy sector to achieve energy security in the long term, with an independent board appointed for the National Transmission Company of South Africa (NTCSA) and the Electricity Regulation Amendment Bill advancing through the Parliamentary process.
