The BESS project serves as a direct response to meet one of the urgent needs to address South Africa's long-running electricity crisis by adding more storage capacity to strengthen the grid while diversifying the existing generation energy mix. . Friday, 10 November 2023: Eskom unveiled the first of its kind largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project not only in South Africa but in the African continent. Load shedding is the deliberate stoppage of electrical power supply by system operators as a preventive measure to maintain system. . For a century, South Africa's energy system was built on a simple, singular principle: baseload power. This was a continuous, stable supply of electricity, overwhelmingly provided by coal-fired power stations, which formed the bedrock of our national grid.
