successful bid price of containerized BESS project in South Africa 2030

How many bids were received for Bess projects?

A total of 33 bids for the five battery energy storage system (BESS) projects at transmission system operator (TSO) Eskom substations were received, of which four bids from Mulilo and one from Scatec were successful.

How will Bess projects impact South Africa's Energy Security?

As South Africa continues to grapple with frequent blackouts and load shedding, these BESS projects will help mitigate risks and contribute to the country’s energy security. The Gainfar Project will be connected to the Ngwedi substation, while the Boitekong Project will be connected to the Marang substation.

How much does a Bess project cost?

The five BESS projects, of 123MW or 124MW each with a 4-hour duration, will require a total investment of ZAR 9.5 billion (US$531 million), Ramokgopa said. Although Mulilo is backed by a European investor, its team is local and the Minister highlighted Mulilo’s success in this window as a positive development.

How will Eskom & NTCSA use the Bess?

Eskom/NTCSA will use the BESS to balance and support the grid, predominantly via ancillary services Instantaneous Reserves, Regulating Reserves, Ten Reserves and Supplemental Reserves. Mulilo also won the lion’s share of BESIPPPP Window 2, announced in December , winning five out of eight projects totalling 384MW out of a total 615MW capacity.

Norway-based Scatec secured the Haru BESS project, a 123 MW/492 MWh installation at an estimated cost of R2,2 billion with about 80% allocated to engineering, procurement and construction. The project will be financed through 90% non-recourse project debt and 10% equity.
