Storage helps ease solar integration, while larger balancing areas help shift power quickly and efficiently from where it is generated to where it is consumed. In the absence of an integrated grid and/or energy storage systems Africa will not be able to take full advantage of solar PV as the lowest cost generation source in history.
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).
Plant sizes vary from a few watts to over 1GW in large, ground mounted solar parks. PV power plants in Africa are currently not larger than 90 MW each. More than 4,000 solar PV plants are operational with an approximate 8GW in capacity. Concentrated solar power (CSP).
