expected ROI of containerized BESS project in South Africa 2030

How many Bess projects are there in South Africa?

The consortium was awarded the three BESS projects totalling 257MW/1,028MWh of energy storage by South Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), out of a total of five awarded.

Is Bess a viable power system for Africa?

The African Continental Power System Masterplan (CMP) study into BESS says that considering Africa’s rapidly growing power requirements and the already planned contributions from variable renewable energy (VRE), these commitments do not fully reflect the potential for BESS on the continent.

Can a Bess investment model cover grid load and technical problems?

An investment model that covers grid load and technical problems in coal-fired generation plants is developed in this study to incorporate three BESS applications; peak-load shaving, load-levelling and maintenance-deferral. The study focuses on the southern Africa region and looks at the Gauteng and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa.

Why should you invest in Bess in South Africa?

In South Africa BESS forms part of the proposed solution for the electricity crisis by . This solution will lead to an initiative that will focus on rolling out the BESS across South Africa . The roll-out of the BESS program opens up opportunities for investors to start looking at the future economic benefits of investing in BESS.

Is a Bess project a good investment?

However, the sensitivity of IRR requires an assessment by future researchers. The annualized IRR attained in this study is 11% for the period of 20 years, which is above the average inflation observed for the last ten years and the SARB target . This study found that there are economic benefits from investing in the BESS project.

What is the Bess investment case?

These two scenarios are created to assess the BESS investment case that considers BESS power requirements and demonstrates economic benefits. The first scenario focuses on the projected BESS electricity capacity of MW by , which is stated in the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) .
