The feasibility study for the first battery energy storage system (BESS) in the central southern African country of Zambia is currently under way, Africa Greenco (Greenco) business development head Wezi Gondwe told delegates at the Enlit Africa conference in Cape Town, on Thursday. [pdf]
As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown: This estimation shows that while the battery itself is a significant cost, the other components collectively add up, making the total price tag substantial. [pdf]
