Predictions show that nearly 30% of electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa will come from solar by 2030, accounting for about 30 GW. South Africa specifically boasts one of the highest 24-hour global solar radiation average in the world—about 220 W/m2. Current cumulative installations are at 5GW, which presents new opportunities to grow the industry.
Energy storage, especially in Africa, is now more important than ever. This is because the balance between supply and demand is not in sync. However, effective methods to store energy for use on-demand are constantly being developed. The advantage of this is energy can be deployed to smaller, remote locations, all across Africa.
Pumped hydro dams are prominently used as energy storage in East Africa, but that is changing with the increase in renewable energy and battery energy storage systems.
