ENERGY FAST FACTS
Sadly, more than 600 million of those are in Africa...

According to World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2016, 16-17% of global population live without electricity!!!
..and demand for energy services by households across the continent is rising significantly...

IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING ENERGY LANDSCAPE…
… we cannot afford to STAND BY!!!

CLOSING THE GAP“We’re tired of seeing Africa in the dark…”
Akinwumi Ayodeji Adesina, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB).
WE NEED AN ENERGY REVOLUTION!!!

GENERATING RENEWABLE ENERGY IS ONE THING…
• The traditional grid system requires careful matching of demand and supply.
• Intermittency - fast daily fluctuations in output – of solar and wind energy disrupts grid operation.
Here is why:
For areas WITHOUT grid access: Taking this energy and making it available off the grid is ALTOGETHER a different
ballgame!
For areas WITH grid access: Plugging this seamlessly into the grid is another thing! And this is a HUGE
challenge!

WHY ENERGY STORAGE?
An environmentally friendly way reliably add large amounts of
intermittent renewable generation!
Storage, particularly at gigawatt scale, can:
• increase the economic value of solar and wind
• decrease carbon emissions by replace fossil fuel systems
• add flexibility (and stability) to power system infrastructure, operation, and market design, bridging gaps between supply and demand across space and over time.

ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIESEnergy storage technologies are classified as follows:
• Mechanical Energy Storage (MES)
By capacity, more than 96% of global energy storage is today made up of large scale pumped hydro projects. (Ref: IEA Tracking Clean Energy Progress 2016)
PHS Flywheels CAES

ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES• Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES)
…lithium ion, advanced lead acid, sodium sulphur, metal air, flow batteries….

ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES• Thermal Energy Storage (TES) – such as molten salt

ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES• Chemical Energy Storage (CES) – such as energy converted and
stored as hydrogen.

CHALLENGES• Relative to competing technologies, energy storage technologies are
still TOO expensive.
• Limited FUNDING & SUPPORT for Research, Innovation, Development, Demonstration and Deployment.
• ILL-EQUIPPED regulatory and market conditions to compensate storage for the suite of services that it can provide.
• Weak policy reforms, bad governance and corruption, limited institutional capacity, etc.
• Others include: site topography, political and legal constraints.

ADVANCING ENERGY STORAGE• Economies of scale.
• Technological innovation – higher energy density, safety, reduced capacity loss.
• Increased financial support.
• Coordinated policies, mandates, tax incentives, and subsidies.
• Strong and consistent regulatory & market frameworks.
