South Africa is heading for a 2030 electricity cliff — and battery storage alone won’t be the parachute. The real gap needs real generation. ⚡🇿🇦
A battery cannot manufacture a single kilowatt-hour on its own. Every unit it discharges at 7 p.m. is a unit that sun, wind, gas or coal had to generate earlier in the day, minus whatever was lost converting that energy into storage and back out again. Treating battery megawatt capacity as a straight substitute for coal megawatt capacity mistakes an instrument for a source.
Batteries are only ever as reliable as the surplus they are charged from.
