Future and Impact of Power Storage in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2017-2023 – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Future
and Impact of Power Storage in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2017" report
has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Power storage through the use of battery energy storage systems is
critical to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. While the foremost
application of battery storage would be in renewable energy-based
off-grid power systems for rural electrification and all-round
electricity access, batteries are set to play a major role across
commercial and industrial segments, especially in powering
telecommunication towers and providing a clean and sustainable source of
power to off-grid lodges and luxury resorts.

With the growing operational expenditure and the reducing cost of
renewable energy technologies such as solar PV and wind, industries and
mining processes are aggressively pursuing renewable generation to meet
power requirements. A continuous supply of quality power through
renewables can only be ensured through the incorporation of battery
storage systems in the setup. This research service provides an overview
of the various battery chemistries currently employed in Sub-Saharan
Africa and also enlists the selection criteria as prescribed by
consumers from different categories. In addition to covering the various
aspects of battery storage across consumer categories, it also
highlights the future of battery storage systems across residential,
commercial, and industrial applications.

Renewable energy has been witnessing rapid expansion across certain
geographies in Sub-Saharan Africa. With growing global competitiveness
and rising input costs, commercial and industrial systems have been
aggressively pursuing renewable energy as a means to achieve business
sustainability and improved profit margins. The study looks into the
various geographic hotspots that are creating demand for battery storage
systems and are likely to be in focus for such systems in the future as
well. In addition, the study highlights case studies of battery storage
applications that have been successfully implemented in the region.
These case studies provide an overview of the choice of system,
associated configuration, and application sought after by consumers.

The adoption of battery storage systems is not without its own
challenges. This study discusses the various factors that will
contribute to the uptake of battery storage systems as well as the
challenges that must be addressed for the successful adoption of these
systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. With a base year analysis of 2017 and
forecasts up to 2023, this research service offers key insights for
battery manufacturers, suppliers, and project developers regarding the
prospective opportunities for expansion in Sub-Saharan Africa.
