Improving Africa's energy storage and distribution infrastructure. This could involve expanding or upgrading the grid infrastructure to make it more reliable, efficient, or adequate to meet the growing energy demand.
This has resulted in an increase in energy storage levels in recent years. In 2022, the continent had around 50MWh of energy storage capacity installed. Since then, energy storage capacity tripled in 2023 and then experienced another 10-fold increase in 2024. Image: AFSIA Solar.
Although Africa is rich in renewable resources, their use remains limited. Implementing electrochemical energy conversion and storage (EECS) technologies such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and ceramic fuel cells (CFCs) can facilitate the transition to a clean energy future.
The review aims to enlighten policies and investments that can promote the scalability of these energy storage and conversion technologies. If strategic efforts are implemented, these technologies could catalyze sustainable electrification and position Africa at the forefront of global energy innovation.
As noted by AFSIA Solar, one of the most notable solar-plus-storage developments in Africa is Norway-based independent power producer (IPP) Scatec's 225MW/1,140MWh Kenhardt project in South Africa. The site started operation in late 2023 (pictured above).
