The feasibility study for the first battery energy storage system (BESS) in the central southern African country of Zambia is currently under way, Africa Greenco (Greenco) business development head Wezi Gondwe told delegates at the Enlit Africa conference in Cape Town, on Thursday. [pdf]
In a move that made tech bloggers swoon, Huawei partnered with Lopower for a 30MW solar + 50MWh sodium-ion battery project at copper mines. Why sodium? It’s like the “avocado toast” of batteries—cheaper than lithium and handles Zambia’s heat better. The kicker? [pdf]
China’s SANY Group and Ruida Mine in Zambia collaborated on a solar, storage, and diesel hybrid microgrid. SANY Silicon Energy, the PV division of the larger Chinese conglomerate SANY Group, has launched a hybrid microgrid project comprised of solar, storage, and diesel in Zambia. [pdf]
In 2024, Pakistan imported 1.25 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) of lithium-ion battery packs, with demand projected to grow to 8.75 GWh by 2030. Lithium-ion battery packs, for anyone wondering, are the primary component of BESS. This marks a strategic shift toward energy resilience. [pdf]
The best industrial batteries for renewable energy storage include lithium-ion, flow, and sodium-sulfur batteries. Lithium-ion offers high energy density and efficiency, flow batteries excel in scalability and longevity, and sodium-sulfur is ideal for high-temperature applications. [pdf]
The FlexBank 1.0 is an 8.36-MWh scalable BESS from e-STORAGE. The new system is expected to be ready for deployment in 2026. FlexBank 1.0’s modular open-frame architecture enables each cabinet to function as an independent building block, greatly simplifying logistics and installation. [pdf]
The AES Dominicana Andres – Battery Energy Storage System is a 10,000kW energy storage project located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The electro-chemical battery energy storage project uses lithium-ion as its storage technology. The project was commissioned in 2017. [pdf]
The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024. [pdf]
A new partnership between Grid Africa and China-based CEGN is set to deploy 50 MWh of battery energy storage in Zambia, supporting wider adoption of solar power, especially beyond daylight hours. [pdf]
Zambia is seeking US$11.6 billion in investments by 2030 to expand electricity generation and meet the country’s growing energy demand, authorities have revealed. Of this amount, US$9.5 billion is expected to be mobilised from private sector sources under the Mission 300 initiative. [pdf]
