Burkina Faso launches the Africa Minigrids Program to expand energy access for rural communities. The program will focus on enabling innovation and technology transfers in decentralized renewable energy distribution and storage solutions. [pdf]
Lithium Africa explores hardrock lithium resources across Africa to meet global battery demand. Using advanced geological techniques and a joint venture with Ganfeng Lithium, the company targets high-grade deposits for EVs and energy storage. [pdf]
In South Africa, energy storage systems, particularly Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), play a crucial role in stabilizing the grid and enhancing the reliability of renewable energy sources. The largest BESS in the country has a capacity of 1,140 megawatt-hours (MWh), sufficient to supply power to approximately 76,000 homes1. Notable projects include the Oasis 1 cluster, which has a capacity of 257MW and 1,028 MWh of storage2. The South African government is actively pursuing utility-scale battery storage through initiatives like the Battery Storage IPP Procurement Programme to improve grid stability and integrate renewable energy3. Overall, these systems are essential for meeting the growing energy demands and supporting the transition to renewable energy sources in South Africa5. [pdf]
