Will South Africa get 6GW of solar PV by 2030?
A recent report – dubbed Large-scale Renewable Energy – from not-for-profit South African company GreenCape forecast 6GW of solar PV by 2030 in the country. South Africa’s government has approved the South African Renewable Energy Master Plan (SAREM) to accelerate renewables deployment.
Is energy storage a viable option for South Africa's power system?
In the longer term, however, at higher levels of variable generation, flexibility requirements will significantly increase demanding interventions to ensure secure and cost-efficient operation of the South African power system. Energy storage was specifically noted to be highly suitable for this purpose.
How can energy storage be regulated in South Africa?
Identification of priority energy storage use cases and applications for the South African context to inform development of the corresponding regulatory framework. Amendment of the grid code to be technology agnostic and review the complete set of codes for optimal integration of ESS at all levels.
Is South Africa ready for energy storage?
The extent to which the South African market is ready for energy storage is considered in subsequent sections. The 2030 vision outlined in the National Development Plan (NDP) of 2011 set the objective to completely eliminate income poverty and reduce inequality in the country.
How fast will battery storage grow in South Africa?
battery storage is similarly set to grow exponentially, to 4.7TWh per annum by 2030 (compared to about 700GWh in 2022).8 In South Africa, the rollout of renewable energy technologies is similarly set to increase rapidly, as the country aims to achieve energy security for all as well as decarbonise its electricity supply.
Does South Africa's policy environment recognise energy storage?
The literature review and case studies revealed that a policy environment that recognises and signals the strategic value of energy storage can direct and enable development and investment in the sector. South Africa’s policy environment, represented by the IRP 2019, recognises ESS but only as a generation asset.
