Independent power producers announce significant investments in battery energy storage projects in the North West and Northern Cape.
South Africa’s independent power producers are set to roll out multibillion-rand battery energy projects to boost the country’s energy security .
Scatec announced on Friday that it has reached financial close for the Mogobe BESS facility totalling 103MW / 412MWh, and is now making final preparations to start construction of the project in Kathu, North West. The firm notes the estimated total capex for the battery energy storage project is R3 billion , of which Scatec’s engineering, procurement and construction contracts account for approximately 83%.
The Norwegian firm will be the EPC provider, and provide operations and maintenance, as well as asset management services to the project. Mulilo, which did not disclose the financial details of the Oasis Mookodi BESS Project, says this is the first in the portfolio of three Oasis projects to reach commercial close, with Oasis Aggeneis and Oasis Nieuwehoop soon to follow in November.
Mulilo CEO Jan Fourie says: “This is a significant milestone for Mulilo, introducing BESS into our existing portfolio. We are cementing our position as a diversified IPP in South Africa, with the competency and depth of experience to address the country's energy needs.”
