Renewable energy developer Mulilo has committed nearly R15 billion to new solar photovoltaic PV and battery storage projects, adding 716 MW of capacity to South Africas grid.
The investment, announced at the Sixth South Africa Investment Conference, will fund the immediate development of three utility-scale solar PV plants, alongside a battery energy storage system, aimed at delivering dispatchable power into the national system.
Mulilo said the projects are intended to respond directly to the countrys need for reliable and flexible generation capacity with storage playing a key role in supporting grid stability and peak demand management.
