GEAPP, Government of Malawi launch the
GEAPP''s first battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Africa, a 20 MW BESS in Malawi''s capital city, Lilongwe.
The project will also contribute to a cleaner energy future for Malawi, reducing reliance on costly diesel generators, cutting carbon emissions by ~10,000 tonnes annually, and unlocking the full uptake of at least 100 MW of variable renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, into the grid.
The Malawi BESS project will guide the scale-up of BESS projects in the Consortium's participating countries. To alleviate energy poverty by 2030 and save a gigaton of CO2 in low and middle-income countries, it is estimated that 90 GW of BESS must be developed to support the required 400 GW of renewable energy.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Government of Malawi to support the country's ambition to achieve universal electricity access by 2030 as we pursue the goals of Mission 300: connecting 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030 at unprecedented scale and speed.”
By enhancing the stability and resilience of Malawi's grid, it demonstrates the power of collaboration in advancing energy access, reducing emissions, and supporting livelihoods.
