Exciting News: A Contract for 612 MWh Signed! Solar Energy is taking another step forward.
On May 26, 2025, Solar Energy announced a new contract for 612 MWh, which is set to significantly enhance the renewable energy landscape. The project, known as Red Sands BESS, is a collaboration with Globeleq and will provide a large-scale battery energy storage system designed to support the integration of renewable energy sources.
With a capacity of 153 MW/612 MWh, this project is expected to come online in 2027 and will operate under a 15-year service agreement. The Red Sands project, located in the Northern Cape province, is strategically positioned to bolster the region’s energy supply and enhance grid stability.
According to the latest reports, Solar Energy is also working on additional projects, including PowerTitan 2.0, which will further expand energy storage capabilities. This initiative aims to provide reliable power supply and enhance energy security in the region.
Notably, the Red Sands BESS project is part of a larger trend in South Africa, where renewable energy sources are rapidly growing. The government has set ambitious targets, aiming to achieve 10.6 GW of new renewable capacity by 2025, with energy storage being a key focus area for stabilizing supply.
The overall energy storage market in South Africa is expected to expand significantly, with ongoing projects and contracts expected to reach 35 GWh by 2025. Solar Energy is not only leading the charge in battery storage but is also exploring various partnerships to enhance its renewable energy offerings.
In summary, the signing of this 612 MWh contract marks a significant milestone for Solar Energy and the renewable sector in South Africa, as it works towards a sustainable future.
