A “baseloadist’s” nightmare. Why are modern power systems run like this, you might ask? Well, because solar and wind are now the cheapest and cleanest energy sources. And coal and nuclear the most expensive. And coal the dirtiest.
Progress at the Vametco Minigrid! 🙌🏽 So happy to see it! 🎉
Any 20 year trend analysis of @Eskom_SA performance will conclude these failures of old kit will continue & a turnaround is unlikely or extremely difficult. So wake up South Africa! We need a massive & urgent increase in new power - R1 trillion (US$55bn) by 2030. Focus. Focus.
#POWERALERT1 Due to the breakdowns of eight generating units on Tuesday evening, Stage 4 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 today until 05:00 on Thursday. Thereafter, varying stages of loadshedding will be implemented until Saturday evening

How can energy storage help #SouthAfrica address load shedding & the electricity crisis? July 5th, tune in to this expert discussion, where I will be speaking, for a closer look at why grid batteries deserve more attention. @IISD_Energy Register now: iisd.org/events/potenti…
The private sector is gearing up to rescue South Africa from power cuts with a huge pipeline of generation projects under advanced development. Now the state has to play its part by getting transmission out of a failing Eskom & allowing investment to flow m.engineeringnews.co.za/article/renewa…

2.7GW PV, 1.7GW wind, 1GW power storage, in tandem with the existing Eskom pumped storage, delivers the same dispatchable power, with 7% additional energy, as the average output from Koeberg nuclear power station over the past 5 years. It does so more predictably as well.

Incredibly interesting presentations on #VRFBs at the recent Vanitec conference, all available online here: vanitec.org/vanadium/ESC-M…
Today we celebrate a milestone for our first of its kind 3.5MW solar PV and 1 MW/4 MWh VRFB mini-grid project. Our @cellcube battery has arrived on site at Vametco mine. #renewableenergy #vrfbs #energystorage

Free session on Understanding Energy Storage at the African Energy Indaba exhibition next week. See also: cldp.doc.gov/Understanding
The experts have just finished a thought-provoking Breakaway Session 3, where Frank Spencer, Mfundi Erasmus Songo, Tshepo Tshivhasa, and Kaloyan Dimov explored the future of battery storage in South Africa. Exciting discussions and insights on what's in store for this industry!
SA needs solar power urgently and innovation is key to driving adoption. At @SolarPower_RSA, Sun Exchange head of engineering, Dermott Murphy, spoke with @solarboygenius and other panelists about novel solar solutions and how they contribute to SA's solar-powered future. @SAPVIA
There is decent consensus that (a) flow batteries are an ideal solution for grid scale energy storage; (b) VRFBs are the most mature flow battery technology available. To this we add: vanadium is present at high grade and scale in SA to support.
Seriti Green raises need for Africa to appraise vanadium as electricity storage battery metal #energystorage #vanadium @martincreamer1 @SeritiResources ow.ly/6gGp50MIZ4K
I enjoyed this interview on behalf of @SAPVIA with @MichelleL_Craig / @Newzroom405 on what is happening in the PV+BESS market in SA: youtube.com/watch?v=iYHg0v…
