Energy goals Energy storage is considered crucial for South Africa’s energy goals, particularly in ensuring stable grids and integrating renewables. This is because while the country has great renewable energy sources, the problem is its load profile that does not align with the renewable energy generation profile.
Battery storage systems offer a solution by storing surplus energy generated during peak production periods and releasing it when demand is high, ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply. The South African government has acknowledged the potential of battery storage and has set ambitious targets for its deployment.
By integrating solar and battery storage systems, businesses can drastically reduce their carbon footprint while ensuring a reliable and cost-effective energy supply. This not only supports South Africa’s green energy goals but also makes economic sense for companies seeking energy independence.
What is BESS? A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a technology that stores energy generated from various sources, such as solar or wind power, in large-scale battery systems. The stored energy can then be released when needed, ensuring a steady supply of electricity, even when renewable sources like the sun or wind are not available.
Currently, projects are underway to implement large battery energy storage systems in strategic locations so that excess energy is not lost, but these projects take time. To have a sustainable electricity network, energy storage is a crucial part of the system.
Many municipalities in South Africa are exploring ways to supplement their electricity supply with renewable energy. SOLA’s BESS solutions can provide a reliable source of power that supports local grids, enhancing energy independence and reducing strain on Eskom.
