NamPower, Namibia's state-owned power utility, has signed a contract with a Chinese joint venture to build the first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the country and the Southern African region.
The fund supports energy-related projects that benefit the environment for example by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy or improving energy efficiency.
The drive towards renewable energy is a priority in Malabo. With investments in solar and wind energy projects, the city aims not only to meet its energy needs but also to position itself as a leader in sustainable energy supply in the region.
The Gambia, the European Union (EU) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have announced the signing of a €24 million EU Global Gateway grant agreement – alongside an €8 million loan from the EIB – to support the implementation of a renewable energy on- and off-grid generation .
A month after India introduced an energy storage mandate for renewable energy plants and China scrapped its own, Mexico has stepped forward with an ambitious 30% capacity requirement, alongside plans to add a further 574 MW of batteries by 2028.
This article explores its role in renewable integration, grid stability, and economic growth, with insights into cutting-edge lithium-ion technology and regional energy trends.

On June 10, 2025, the Photovoltaic Brand Lab (PVBL) unveiled its annual ranking of the world's leading solar energy storage solution providers at the 10th Century Photovoltaic Conference in Shanghai.
The top five manufacturers, CATL, EVE Energy, Hithium, CALB, and BYD, dominate the market, with the top two holding nearly 55% combined share. In Edition #3 -2022, you can access the ranking of 70+ PV Module manufacturers, 30+ Inverter manufacturers & 40+ Energy Storage.
Shanghai-based Envision Energy unveiled its newest large-scale energy storage system (ESS), which has an energy density of 541 kWh/㎡, making it currently the highest in the industry.
The Rudong project is the world's first commercial scale deployment of a non-pumped hydro, gravitational energy storage system. An anticipated 80% round trip efficiency puts the EVx™ ahead of competing long duration technologies such as flow battery, thermal, and compressed air.
This paper provides a critical review of the existing energy storage technologies, focusing mainly on mature technologies. Their feasibility for microgrids is investigated in terms of cost.
It integrates solar PV, battery storage, backup diesel, and telecom power distribution in one standard container. Strong storage: Up to 50 kWh capacity, perfect for long.
In Namibia, one of the largest electricity storage systems in southern Africa is currently being built – financed with a grant from KfW. Namibia has great potential for solar and wind energy, but so far it has not been able to store enough electricity.
