Cape Town company breaks ground on Africa’s first gigawatt battery plant

The City of Cape Town is set to get Africa’s first dedicated gigawatt battery storage plant in the form of a 12,500 square-metre light industrial site.

For reference, the new facility, located in Richmond Park, will be four times the size of the Montague Gardens site. “This development marks an exciting moment for Cape Town,” said Alderman James Vos, City of Cape Town mayoral committee member for economic growth.“Not only does this investment fuel Cape Town’s drive towards a smarter, cleaner and more secure energy future, but it also makes this metro the base for the production of these batteries that are exported into Africa and Europe.”

Its growth has been supported by GreenCape, the City of Cape Town’s Special Purpose Vehicle in the green economy, and Wesgro.
