Energy Storage Global energy demand is expected to edge up in 2021 after a contraction in 2020 as demand for transport fuels declined. Notwithstanding the overall decline in 2020, there was an increase in demand for renewables - where solar and wind lead growth - in line with global awareness of the need for sustainable energy.
This is the first part of the 500MW BESS initiative announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa as part of the government''s measures to address South Africa''s long-running electricity crisis. The Eskom BESS project will act as a proof of concept on the delivery of the first battery energy storage project in South Africa.
The overlapping crises are affecting many parts of Africa''s energy systems, including reversing positive trends in improving access to modern energy, with 4% more people living without electricity in 2021 than in 2019. They
