Recent Energy Storage Activities in SSA Standard Microgrid Initiatives Kenya Solar and Energy Storage Limited Deployment of 150 Technologies Reverse Trade Mission Microgrid Units Feasibility Study USTDA supported a reverse trade mission for USTDA is supporting a feasibility study for representatives of Kenya’s energy sector. The visit Standard Microgrid Initiatives Limited, an promoted U.S. industry participation in the African energy developer on efforts to implementation of solar and energy storage deploy 150 microgrid and energy storage projects across Kenya. The RTM introduced units in rural areas of Zambia. The study delegates to U.S. solar and energy storage will demonstrate the competitiveness of technologies and services, as well as policies, U.S. solar power and storage technologies regulations, and financing options that can support in Zambia. The project is expected to the implementation of Kenya’s energy storage provide electricity access for over 20,000 goals. households. Madagascar Solar and Battery Storage Minigrid Primus Power Energy Storage System Pilot Project Feasibility Study USTDA is supporting a pilot project that demonstrates USTDA is supporting a feasibility study for the Malagasy the performance of an energy storage system based on the innovative energy company, Henri Fraise Fils & Cie (HFFC). The technologies of the U.S. firm, Primus Power (Hayward, CA). The pilot study will evaluate the technical and economic viability of will be located at ESKOM’s large -scale energy storage test and deploying solar photovoltaic-powered minigrids with demonstration facility. Primus Power’s technology will demonstrate integrated battery storage at up to 100 sites across energy storage capabilities and strengthen South Africa’s electric grid Madagascar. In partnership with U.S. battery storage by offsetting the need to use diesel and other fossil fuels for peaking manufacturer, Fluidic, Inc. (Scottsdale, AZ), HFFC aims to power. The pilot will also work to integrate renewable electricity install and operate a combined 9.9 MW of solar power generation sources into South Africa’s electric grid. generation and 87 MW hours of battery storage capacity.
Pilot Technologies In FY2017, USTDA supported six U.S. companies piloting unique power technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa
Financing • Increase in financing options on the continent • OPIC, Ex-IM, DBSA, IDC, AfDB, etc. • USTDA has developed a database of 60 financiers USTDA contractor Oorja Protonics raised more than $1 million through the 2017 Industry Growth Forum
