It’s essentially a gravity-powered battery that can generate 12MW for up to 8 hours. Bonus points: locals call it "the waterfall that flows backward." Malabo’s engineers are experimenting with storage solutions that’ll make your smartphone jealous:
[pdf] With the rapid development of energy storage applications, lifepo4 banks in parallel (lithium iron phosphate battery parallel group) has been widely used in scenarios such as solar energy systems, recreational vehicles, and UPS.
[pdf] At 4-6 million MGA (≈ $900-$1,300) for 5kWh, they’re easier on the wallet but last only 3-5 years. Pro tip: Factor in replacement costs! Madagascar’s 20% import tax on batteries hits harder than a rainy season downpour.
