This innovative system, which marks a first for Malawi, aims to revolutionize the storage and distribution of electricity by providing backup power during outages, stabilizing the national
Malawi has taken a significant step towards transforming its energy access and reducing carbon emissions with the launch of a $20 million Battery Energy Storage System

The project will also contribute to a cleaner energy future for Malawi, reducing reliance on costly diesel generators, cutting carbon emissions by ~10,000 tonnes annually, and unlocking the full uptake of at least 100 MW of variable renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, into the grid.
The Malawi BESS project will guide the scale-up of BESS projects in the Consortium’s participating countries. To alleviate energy poverty by 2030 and save a gigaton of CO2 in low and middle-income countries, it is estimated that 90 GW of BESS must be developed to support the required 400 GW of renewable energy.
By breaking ground for this BESS project (and its subsequent completion expected in 2025), Malawi is an important proof point for the BESS Consortium launched by GEAPP at COP28 to secure 5 gigawatts (GW) of BESS commitments in low and middle income countries (LMICs) by the end of 2024.
