Malawi commissions first grid-scale standalone battery system

SolarNews Brief

Malawi has commissioned its first grid-scale standalone battery energy storage system. The 20 MW / 40 MWh Kanengo BESS in Lilongwe was delivered by GEAPP with state-owned utility ESCOM.

Energy-Storage.News reports that Malawi’s Minister of Energy and Mining, Dr Jean Mathanga, led the commissioning ceremony after GEAPP announced the project on July 24. The system is intended to improve grid reliability and add flexibility to a power system that is working to integrate more renewable generation. For African storage markets, the project is a useful benchmark for donor-backed standalone BESS deployment at transmission and distribution level.
