Customer ServiceThe 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.
South Africa’s energy storage development and manufacturing objectives and roadmap. Anticipated changes in the generation and consumption profiles of the country with consideration of the most recent IRP (Intervention 1.2 under Policy levers) and any subsequent techno-economic planning and modelling.
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.
As indicated in Figure 4-20, the existing and future pipeline of ESS in South Africa comprises of just under 18 GWh. The majority of this energy storage capacity is expected to come from the deployment of stationary energy storage under bulk generation, followed by the projects focusing on the transmission and distribution network.
This enables storage to absorb excess capacity on the system when supply exceeds demand. In South Africa’s constrained power system, energy storage can provide backup capacity that can be called on to reduce the extent of loadshedding. As noted earlier, energy storage offers accurate and swift / responsive dispatchability to the system.
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.
