With projects like the GALLOIS graphite mine’s 8MWh storage system [2] and Anka’s solar microgrid expansions [1], Madagascar is becoming Africa’s unexpected energy innovation lab. Take Anka’s solar microgrids – their battery storage capacity is doubling this year to power 39 new communities [1]. [pdf]
Today we are here to mark a necessary and appropriate step in the development of Kosovo’s energy sector, as we officially open the pre-qualification process for the construction of battery energy storage systems, which we will deploy in Ferizaj and Istog. [pdf]
Germany builds a new battery storage facility in Bollingstedt to power 170,000 homes and stabilise its grid. The facility addresses the intermittency of renewable energy, storing excess electricity for use during peak demand. [pdf]

The $20 million BESS project will stabilise Malawi’s hydropower-reliant grid, enhance electricity access, and reduce carbon emissions by 10,000 tonnes annually. This initiative is part of GEAPP’s BESS Consortium, which aims to deploy 5 GW of storage in low-middle-income countries by 2024. [pdf]
The batteries are based on calcium and antimony metal, along with a calcium-chloride based salt, and operate at high temperatures which provides for facile kinetics and enables the use of these commonly available materials, which all contribute to low-cost product with good efficiency. [pdf]
The Dominican Republic has launched a tender for up to 600 MW of solar and wind capacity, requiring projects to include at least four hours of battery storage to support stability in the National Interconnected Electric System (SENI). From ESS News [pdf]
Prevent Cold: Below 0°C (32°F), lithium batteries lose charge efficiency. While cold storage slows self-discharge, repeatedly charging cold batteries can damage internal structures. Pro Tip: Use climate-controlled storage units or insulated containers to stabilize temperatures. [pdf]
