What's happening with energy storage in Africa?

A roundup of energy storage news from across the continent of Africa, with Morocco’s ONEE shortlisting bidders for a pumped hydro project, Somalia launching a grid-scale solar and storage tender, and a microgrid pairing grid-scale solar, BESS and diesel at a mine in Zambia. Morocco: utility ONEE progresses 300-400MW pumped hydro

How many off-grid solar and storage projects are there in Zambia?

The MoEWR tendered for the provision of 46 off-grid solar and storage projects at education facilities last year, all in all totalling a little over 5MWh of energy storage capacity. The Zambia Ruida Mining Microgrid Power Project, which combines solar PV, BESS and diesel backup power at a mine in Zambia, has been commissioned.

What is the Zambia Ruida mining microgrid power project?

The Zambia Ruida Mining Microgrid Power Project, which combines solar PV, BESS and diesel backup power at a mine in Zambia, has been commissioned. Heavy equipment manufacturing firm Sany Group announced the completion of the project last week (7 January), which it said came just four months after a power purchase agreement (PPA) for it was signed.

Who owns 153 MW & 612 MWh in South Africa?
