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]
In a move that made tech bloggers swoon, Huawei partnered with Lopower for a 30MW solar + 50MWh sodium-ion battery project at copper mines. Why sodium? It’s like the “avocado toast” of batteries—cheaper than lithium and handles Zambia’s heat better. The kicker? [pdf]
China’s SANY Group and Ruida Mine in Zambia collaborated on a solar, storage, and diesel hybrid microgrid. SANY Silicon Energy, the PV division of the larger Chinese conglomerate SANY Group, has launched a hybrid microgrid project comprised of solar, storage, and diesel in Zambia. [pdf]
The FlexBank 1.0 is an 8.36-MWh scalable BESS from e-STORAGE. The new system is expected to be ready for deployment in 2026. FlexBank 1.0’s modular open-frame architecture enables each cabinet to function as an independent building block, greatly simplifying logistics and installation. [pdf]
The AES Dominicana Andres – Battery Energy Storage System is a 10,000kW energy storage project located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The electro-chemical battery energy storage project uses lithium-ion as its storage technology. The project was commissioned in 2017. [pdf]
The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024. [pdf]
A new partnership between Grid Africa and China-based CEGN is set to deploy 50 MWh of battery energy storage in Zambia, supporting wider adoption of solar power, especially beyond daylight hours. [pdf]
Zambia is seeking US$11.6 billion in investments by 2030 to expand electricity generation and meet the country’s growing energy demand, authorities have revealed. Of this amount, US$9.5 billion is expected to be mobilised from private sector sources under the Mission 300 initiative. [pdf]

Thurrock Storage, the UK’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) developed by Statera Energy is now energised and delivering electricity to the grid. This landmark 300MW battery storage site is capable of powering up to 680,000 homes with instantaneous power over two hours. [pdf]
Their work focuses on the flow battery, an electrochemical cell that looks promising for the job—except for one problem: Current flow batteries rely on vanadium, an energy-storage material that’s expensive and not always readily available. .
A flow battery contains two substances that undergo electrochemical reactions in which electrons are transferred from one to the other. When. .
A major advantage of this system design is that where the energy is stored (the tanks) is separated from where the electrochemical reactions occur (the so-called reactor, which includes the porous electrodes and membrane). As a result, the capacity of the. .
The question then becomes: If not vanadium, then what? Researchers worldwide are trying to answer that question, and many. .
A critical factor in designing flow batteries is the selected chemistry. The two electrolytes can contain different chemicals, but today. [pdf]
Swiss-based energy company MET Group has officially inaugurated Hungary’s largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, located close to Budapest. The new facility boasts a total power output of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 80 MWh. [pdf]
