This report explores the key dynamics shaping the battery market across the region: from the rise of lithium-ion and solid-state technologies to growing applications in energy storage, electric mobility, and industrial resilience.
Although Africa is rich in renewable resources, their use remains limited. Implementing electrochemical energy conversion and storage (EECS) technologies such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and ceramic fuel cells (CFCs) can facilitate the transition to a clean energy future.
Each system can contribute uniquely to Africa's diverse energy storage needs. Africa's potential for local battery manufacturing is substantial due to its natural resource wealth and available labour force. The continent is rich in minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and graphite, essential components for battery production.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as a pivotal solution, storing excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night or during periods of high demand. Storage batteries can also be integrated with existing grid power to stabilise use between peak and off-peak usage.
The review aims to enlighten policies and investments that can promote the scalability of these energy storage and conversion technologies. If strategic efforts are implemented, these technologies could catalyze sustainable electrification and position Africa at the forefront of global energy innovation.
The continent is rich in minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and graphite, essential components for battery production. By developing local supply chains for battery manufacturing, African countries can meet their energy storage needs while creating jobs and stimulating economic growth in related sectors.
In summary, while lithium batteries and fuel cells have the potential to transform Africa's energy landscape, addressing end-of-life challenges is critical for sustainability. In tandem with adoption efforts, cultivating the expertise and infrastructure for safe, efficient recycling can unlock their maximum potential and create jobs.

Scatec's Kenhardt solar-plus-storage site in South Africa (above), which went online at the end of 2023. Image: Scatec. Africa's energy storage market has seen a boom since 2017, having risen from just 31MWh to 1,600MWh in 2024, according to trade body AFSIA Solar's latest report.
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. Tristan is an Electrical Engineer with experience in consulting and public sector works in plant procurement.
As noted by AFSIA Solar, one of the most notable solar-plus-storage developments in Africa is Norway-based independent power producer (IPP) Scatec's 225MW/1,140MWh Kenhardt project in South Africa. The site started operation in late 2023 (pictured above).
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.
This has resulted in an increase in energy storage levels in recent years. In 2022, the continent had around 50MWh of energy storage capacity installed. Since then, energy storage capacity tripled in 2023 and then experienced another 10-fold increase in 2024. Image: AFSIA Solar.
