AFSIA said similar projects have also been launched in Senegal, Malawi, Botswana, Tanzania, Namibia and Mauritius, for a total of 500 MW plus. In total, AFSIA says around 18GWh of storage projects are under development across Africa.

In 2024, an estimated 1,500 MWh was installed across African nations. Accounting for more than half of this figure alone was the Kenhardt 1-2-3 project by Norwegian renewables developer Scatec, a solar-plus-storage plant successfully commissioned in 2024.
