Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is one of Distribution''s strategic programmes/technology. It is aimed at diversifying the generation energy mix, by pursuing a low-carbon future to reduce the impact on the environment. BESS is a giant step in the right direction to support the Just Energy Transition (JET) programme for boosting green energy as a renewable alternative source.
The developmental possibilities that come with a large-scale transition to renewable energy and battery storage could be hugely impactful across South African businesses, homes, communities and government. It is clear that battery storage is the key to long-term, reliable and sustainable energy that still works on cloudy or windless days.
Zero Carbon Charge To Roll Out Ultra-Fast EV Charging Stations Powered By Large Solar & Battery Storage In South Africa June 9, 2023 1 year ago Remeredzai Joseph Kuhudzai 0 Comments
This is the near future for many commuters in South Africa: you''''ll drive to work in your electric vehicle (EV), travelling for up to about 200kms on one charge. Once you are at work, you''''ll plug the EV charger from your vehicle into a renewable energy charging unit – it''''s as simple as plugging an appliance into a socket.

According to Gaylor Montmasson-Clair, a senior economist at Trade and Industrial Policy Strategy (TIPS). South Africa imported $1.1 billion (4.4 GWh) of lithium-ion cells and batteries in the first six months of 2023 which is mostly imported from China. Of reference Manufacturing a renewable energy value chain in South Africa
Battery-based solutions in particular are: modular, easily scalable, able to match service requirements and relatively quick to deploy. In South Africa, Battery Storage is a key aspect of the first-of-its-kind hybrid project, Oya.
The South African government has acknowledged the potential of battery storage and has set ambitious targets for its deployment. The 2019 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and Eskom''s Transmission Development Plan (TDP) project a need for 2GW to 6.6GW of battery storage capacity to be installed by 2032.
Battery storage systems offer a solution by storing surplus energy generated during peak production periods and releasing it when demand is high, ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply.

Battery energy storage is no longer just a future concept; it is rapidly becoming an integral part of South Africa’s energy landscape. As the country seeks to overcome its energy challenges, BESS will play a critical role in ensuring a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective power supply for all.
A battery energy storage system (BESS) could be transformational technology that is needed to turn South Africa’s electrical grid into the dependable and progressive system it could be. Grid-scale battery storage was simply a dream a decade ago.
Energy goals 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.
To overcome these challenges and unlock the potential within the battery storage sector, South Africa needs a multi-pronged approach that must include: investment in refining and processing infrastructure; focusing on existing strengths; fostering collaboration; developing attractive investment incentives; and embracing innovation.
