Friday, 10 November 2023: Eskom unveiled the first of its kind largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project not only in South Africa but in the African continent. Eskom officially opened the Hex BESS site at Worcester in the Western Cape yesterday.
As per the latest schedule, phase I is anticipated to be completed by end of year 2023. The BESS rollout has been scheduled for construction in the regions of the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.
State-owned electricity utility Eskom is leading the large-scale commercial rollout of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology in South Africa, aiming to demonstrate its feasibility and benefits, with Phase 1 currently under way and Phase 2 in development, says Eskom generation group executive Bheki Nxumalo.
Success here can expand BESS adoption and export beyond South Africa’s borders. A BESS site with a capacity of 200 MW/800 MWh holds a substantial amount of stored energy. This is
The 1440 megawatt-hours (MWh) distributed BESS with 360 megawatt (MW) Solar Photovoltaic (PV) represents a giant leap forward in achieving this aspiration. Q: What is Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)? BESS, or Battery Energy Storage Systems, stores electricity in batteries for on-demand power supply.
a situation where BESS is the primary source of power, often combined with renewable energy sources like solar or wind, to supply electricity in remote areas or during grid outages. BESS can be part of centralised or decentralised energy systems.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%.
