While the potential of stationary energy storage to address the existing power system challenges, are high in South Africa, the current uptake of the technology is limited to customer-sited, behind-the-meter applications (largely for back up services).
As it stands, however, there is no specific classification for energy storage and a very limited regulatory framework particular to energy storage in South Africa (Werksmans Attorneys, 2018).
Identification of priority energy storage use cases and applications for the South African context to inform development of the corresponding regulatory framework. Amendment of the grid code to be technology agnostic and review the complete set of codes for optimal integration of ESS at all levels.
This may have greater relevance in competitive markets, but could already have relevance in South Africa's reserve market (J.M.K.C. Donev et al. 2020). The potential for multiple services and revenue streams improves the business case for energy storage investment and development.
