Visualizing Africa's Battery Storage Pipeline

Key takeaways

• With a proposed capacity of 11 GWh, South Africa accounts for a large share of Africa’s battery energy storage pipeline. This is more than triple that of Egypt or Morocco, the next largest markets.
• While several countries already have operational and under-construction projects, much of the capacity, especially in countries like South Africa, Egypt, and Morocco, remains in the pipeline stage.
• Battery Energy Storage Systems store electricity to stabilize the power grid and provide backup power.
