A public-private partnership in South Sudan has launched the country's first major solar power plant and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the capital Juba, where it is expected to provide electricity to thousands of homes.
South Sudan has taken a significant step toward renewable energy with the launch of its first large-scale solar power project. The Ezra Group, a prominent business conglomerate, has successfully developed and financed a 20-megawatt (MW) solar power plant, complemented by a 14-megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
This project marks a significant achievement for South Sudan, reinforcing its commitment to renewable energy and environmental responsibility. By investing in solar power and battery storage technology, the country is making a decisive move toward energy independence, economic growth, and a sustainable future for its people.
Because South Sudan is still in the beginning stages of their infrastructural development, there is a rare opportunity to move forward and address the issue of energy poverty by building sustainable models of electrification, like solar power, without having to dismantle an already existing energy foundation.
The 20 MW solar plant is set to power approximately 16,000 households in Juba. It will also enhance grid stability and reduce energy costs for consumers. The accompanying battery storage system ensures that solar-generated power remains available when needed, stabilizing the grid and improving renewable energy reliability.
These solar pumps harness the sun to power sensor-driven drip irrigation throughout villages in South Sudan, fostering a sustainable means of agricultural production while fighting increasingly common effects of climate change such as unpredictable floods and droughts, according to the Rainmaker Enterprise.
Most of the country's current energy production comes from generators that burn imported diesel, a costly method both economically and environmentally. According to the World Bank, only 8.4% of the population had reliable access to power and electricity in 2022, leaving the door wide open to produce much-needed renewable energy in South Sudan.

The €100M project, led by Baltic Storage Platform, will deliver some of Europe's largest battery storage complexes with a combined capacity of 200 MW and a total storage capacity of 400 MWh, putting Estonia in the best spot for efficient energy use.
Earlier this year, the Estonian company partnered with Clean energy investment company Niam Infrastructure to build an 84MW solar-plus-storage portfolio in Latvia. The portfolio would be carried out in two phases, with the construction of 40MW of solar PV across six sites in a first phase.
According to Andres Meesak, CEO of Estonia's PV association, Estonia now has around 107 MW of cumulative installed PV capacity. This represents a significant increase from the 17 MW of cumulative capacity at the end of 2017.
The battery energy storage park and its substation will be connected to the electricity transmission network using a 330kV AC underground cable, marking a first in Estonia. Baltic Storage Platform confirmed that the BESS will seek to ensure the stability and resilience of the Estonian electricity grid.
He said on no specific reactor has been chosen yet. The plant is expected to be built by private investors and company Fermi Energia has been at the forefront of Estonia's nuclear power plant discussions. The project is expected to cost €2 billion euros and small modular reactors with a capacity of 300 megawatts are being considered.
With an installed capacity of 77MW, the Kirikmäe solar park doubles the capacity of the previous 'largest' plant in Estonia. Image: Evecon. Estonian energy company Evecon and French asset manager Mirova have reached operational status at a 77.53MW solar park in Estonia.
In addition to the solar PV capacity, Evecon will build 26MW of battery energy storage systems at the project sites. The 77.5MW Kirikmäe solar park is owned by the Baltic Renewable Energy Platform (BREP), a joint venture set in 2022 between Evecon and Mirova.
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.
Boom times for energy storage have extended to the continent of Africa, with a 10-fold increase in installed storage supporting grids and renewable energy penetration.
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. He has previously been Managing Editor and Founding Editor of tech and other publications in Australia.
The Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA) has published its Africa Solar Outlook for 2025, detailing remarkable growth in energy storage, with 2024 registering a 1,045% increase over 2023. AFSIA recorded annual capacity stalled at just around 50 MWh until 2022, which tripled in 2023 to over 150 MWh.
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.
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).

The Caribbean island nation of the Bahamas is turning to independent power producers (IPPs), the combination of “solar plus storage” and hybrid microgrids to extend sustainable energy access, improve energy reliability and resiliency, and reduce carbon emissions and environmental footprints on four of the archipelagic nation's 30 inhabited islands (pop.
Development of the four solar-fueled power systems will set the stage to scale the Family Islands solar program across the island chain's outlying islands, as well as contribute to the Bahamas achieving a national goal of renewable energy resources meeting 30% of electricity needs by 2030.
The Bahamian government owns and manages property rooftops, parking lots and green spaces, on which solar power projects could be developed. Several projects that capitalize on that solar power potential are underway, Jones Bahamas points out.
BPL Chairman Donovan Moxey was quoted in a Tribune Business news report. The Bahamas is a very difficult place to generate electricity, distribute it and sell it, even as compared to other Caribbean islands, Chris Burgess, Islands Energy Program projects director, told Solar Magazine.
On a kilowatt-hour (kWh) by kilowatt-hour basis, solar's your best, but you need to add battery energy storage capacity in order to reach higher levels of penetration,” he noted. “Nassau's [the Bahamas' largest city] is a pretty big grid, and it can take a fair bit of solar without storage,” Burgess continued.
In addition to the Bahamas, the Islands Energy team is in the midst of assisting Caribbean island governments and utilities in five other jurisdictions craft and carry out clean, renewable energy transition: the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Belize, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Turks and Caicos. Three pillars support the program.
The Bahamas has been taking steps to end the state-owned utility's energy monopoly and reduce the energy sector's carbon and environmental footprints in line with national and international greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change goals. Government leaders have earmarked $170 million for renewable energy financing in the 2019–2020 budget.
The Philippines is running multi‑gigawatt solar‑plus‑storage auctions, Vietnam is turning to storage to curb solar curtailment, and Thailand is deploying industrial storage to cut peak tariffs and strengthen its EV supply chain. Policy, technology, and market forces are. According to Market Strides analysis, the South East Asia Gravity Energy Storage Market size was USD 8. 4 Million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 117. The combination of the shift to renewable energy and the lack of grid stability in several Southeast Asian nations indicates the need for storage technologies, a need which is starting to be recognised at governmental level. For commercial sites, adding energy storage systems (ESS) to solar PV isn't just a “green” upgrade—it's a practical way to stabilize operations, shave peak demand, back up. Commissioned in six months1, the facility started operations in December 2022 and is the fastest in the world of its size to be deployed2. It is on the brink of a battery energy storage (BESS) leap that could reshape its energy systems.
