Boom times for energy storage have extended to the continent of Africa, with a 10-fold increase in installed storage supporting grids and renewable energy penetration.
AFSIA said similar projects have also been launched in Senegal, Malawi, Botswana, Tanzania, Namibia and Mauritius, for a total of 500 MW plus. In total, AFSIA says around 18GWh of storage projects are under development across Africa. Tristan is an Electrical Engineer with experience in consulting and public sector works in plant procurement.
In 2024, an estimated 1,500 MWh was installed across African nations. Accounting for more than half of this figure alone was the Kenhardt 1-2-3 project by Norwegian renewables developer Scatec, a solar-plus-storage plant successfully commissioned in 2024.
AFSIA recorded annual capacity stalled at just around 50 MWh until 2022, which tripled in 2023 to over 150 MWh. In 2024, an estimated 1,500 MWh was installed across African nations.
