As South Africa continues to grapple with load shedding, grid constraints, and rising energy demands, battery energy storage has emerged as a game-changing solution. The Red Sands BESS will allow the country to store excess renewable energy—especially from solar and wind—and release it when it’s needed most. This isn’t just about storing power.
Technically speaking, South Africa has no facilities that can manufacture batteries from start to finish. That is because there is no plant producing the cells that form the basic building blocks of batteries.
However, several companies are already assembling batteries with cells imported from China and other components manufactured locally and abroad. Solar MD operates the largest battery assembly plant in the country by annual production capacity.
The project builds on Globeleq’s growing portfolio of renewable assets across Africa, including the Cuamba solar-plus-storage plant in Mozambique, signaling a broader trend toward integrated, sustainable power systems.
Our BESS energy storage systems and photovoltaic foldable container solutions are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
