Freetown, Sierra Leone | 10 April 2025: The Republic of Sierra Leone today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Hecate Global Renewables (HGR), and Africa50 to develop 100 MW of Renewable Energy projects including Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”). [pdf]
The project encompasses the construction of a solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) minigrid to be built on the island of Buka, within the autonomous region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. It will address the electricity needs of the region, which relies heavily on diesel generators. [pdf]
That's exactly what the Minsk Energy Storage Plant achieves through its cutting-edge battery systems. As Belarus' first utility-scale energy storage project, it's become the poster child for Eastern Europe's clean energy transition – and frankly, it's about time we talked about it! [pdf]
S4 Energy, Rotterdam-based leader in European grid-scale storage, has begun operation of its state-of-the-art four-hour Battery Energy Storage System, the first of its kind in the Netherlands. Courtesy of S4 Energy [pdf]

On May 20, 2025, the Masen Agency announced a new pilot project called the “Morocco Energy Storage Testbed Project,” validated by the World Bank. Deployed at the iconic Noor Ouarzazate site, this program aims to experiment with different technological storage solutions to improve grid flexibility. [pdf]
The Solar Samanalaya project in Hambantota combines 50MW solar with 20MWh battery storage – reducing diesel use by 40% during evening peak hours. Or take the quirky case of a Galle hotel that powers its ACs using old EV batteries. Talk about upcycling! [pdf]
To this end, the island nation is relying on green energy: a 50,000 square metre solar park with a total output of 6 megawatts was built on Île De Romainville in front of the capital Victoria on Mahé. In addition, there are five wind turbines with an output of 750 kilowatts each. [pdf]
