Technical FAQs 4

How many MW will South Africa's solar power plant deliver?

With an installed solar capacity of 540 MW of PV, and a battery storage capacity of 225MW/1,140MWh, the plant is designed to deliver 150 MW of dispatchable power from 5 am to 9.30 pm year-round to the national grid under a 20-year power purchase agreement with South Africa’s national power utility company, Eskom.

When did South Africa's biggest solar battery storage system start supplying power?

South Africa’s biggest solar battery storage system started feeding power into Eskom’s grid in mid-December 2023. Scatec ASA announced its Kenhardt hybrid solar and battery facility in the Northern Cape officially started producing and supplying electricity to the national grid on 11 December 2023.

Are large energy storage projects coming to South Africa?

It’s great to see more large energy storage projects coming online in South Africa. Just 2 months ago, Eskom unveiled another large battery storage project. Eskom’s Hex site is specifically designed to store 100MWh of energy, enough to power a town such as Mossel Bay or Howick for about five hours.

How much solar power does Scatec have in South Africa?

Aside from the Kenhardt facility, Scatec has over 448MW of solar power operating in South Africa.
