how energy storage can contribute to solving the electricity crisis in South Africa, why grid-located batteries are a strategic focus area, and the status quo of current plans and projects. Part 2 will take a deeper look at grid-located batteries: how to maximize benefits, minimize risks, and create a more enabling environment for deployment.
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.
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.
The report noted the main barriers in the region to be lack of regulation supporting the energy storage market, access to affordable financing, political and economic stability, and underdeveloped or aging grid infrastructure. Of particular interest in South Africa is the volume of residential energy storage systems being imported.
In South Africa, the short-, medium-, and long-term priorities to strike a balance between energy demand and supply are conveyed in the White Paper on Energy Policy. Produced in 1998, the White Paper on Energy Policy aimed to “clarify government policy regarding the supply and consumption of energy for the next decade”.
