In order to ensure the national power supply, it is imperative to adjust the power supply structure and increase the proportion of new energy power generation. In the context of frequent power off, household and industrial and commercial energy storage solutions have become an important measure to ensure power consumption.
In recent years, South Africa has committed to advancing renewable energy development to achieve its ambition of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. South Africa plans to increase its installed renewable energy capacity to 50-60GW by 2030, as outlined by the Presidential Climate Council (PCC). The photovoltaic installed capacity is expected to reach 30GW in 2030. The electricity storage market will grow to 9,700 MWh in 2030, and is expected to grow to 16,000 MWh in the best case scenario.
