The Mogadishu Mega Project: A 55MW solar farm paired with 160MWh battery storage—enough to power 40,000 homes. Bid submissions closed in April 2024 [1]. Berbera’s Hybrid Hub: 12MW solar + 36MWh storage (wait, did someone upgrade from 3MWh to 36MWh mid-project? Talk about ambition! [3])
[pdf] The facility, known as Chilca-BESS, is made up of 84 cabinets of lithium-ion batteries. Now in commercial operation, it is the largest energy storage system of its kind in Peru, according to the Peruvian ministry of energy and mining.
[pdf] The Ville-sur-Haine BESS project in Wallonia, Belgium became operational over the weekend, as supported by 53 Tesla Megapacks for 50MW/200 MWh of capacity. The site is being operated by Netherlands-based energy producer Eneco, and it has now come online after first being announced last June.
