South Africa Turns to Affordable Battery Storage for Stable Energy

Summary

South Africa is shifting its focus in renewable energy from relying only on sources like solar and wind, which can be unpredictable, to using batteries that store energy. These batteries allow power to be saved when it is produced and used when it is needed, making electricity supply more reliable. The cost of battery storage has been falling, making this transition more affordable and attractive for the country. This change is important for South Africa’s energy future as it helps manage the ups and downs of renewable energy production and could reduce power outages. By using batteries, the country can better match electricity supply with demand, ensuring steady power for homes and businesses.
