The Erongo Battery Energy Storage System, also Erongo BESS, is a planned 58 MW (78,000 hp) battery energy storage system installation in Namibia. The BESS, the first of its kind in the country and in the Southern African region, will be capable of providing 72MWh of clean energy to the Namibian grid. .
The BESS unit would be located at the site of 's Omburu Substation, approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi), southeast of the city of in the , in central Namibia. The geographical. .
The BESS station is under development by the , who own the station. The development receives support (financial and technical) from the (KfW).. .
The BESS station has storage capacity of 58 megawatts. Its design allows for a discharge capacity of 72MWh of energy into the Namibian grid. The BESS is expected to store "locally generated renewable power as well as electricity imported from the .

[pdf] As of January 2019, Gambia had total installed generating capacity of approximately 139 megawatts. Of this, the Gambia National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC), generated 102 megawatts and an independent power producer generated approximately 26 megawatts, at , an urban centre, south of Banjul. All these installations use "expensive fossil-fuels" (either or ). In addition, as of November 2021, there was a deficit of 11.

PHS is ideally adapted to Libya's geography, which lowers capital costs and makes it a feasible energy storage alternative. Research has increasingly concentrated on the design and optimization of hybrid energy systems that use PHS both on and off the grid..

With the aim of ensuring continuous electricity supply during blackouts and scheduled shutdowns, the study first considers a hybrid energy system. A combination of PV, diesel generator, battery storage, representing a NWA solution, with grid connection option has been considered..
The system is evaluated at Brack City, Libya, and comprises a 36,560 m 3 biomass digester that produces 27 Mm 3 annually, a 1230 kW Stirling generator, and a 6006 m 2 PDSC collector area. The system will add 5,670,534 kWh of energy to the grid yearly, with a peak load capacity of 1230 kWh and a coverage of 5,892,666 kWh..
battery storage, is likely to be the primary pathway for the rapid growth of Libya's renewable electricity sector. Keywords : solar PV, pumped hydro storage, biomass,. .
Different combinations of PV/storage/diesel distributed generations (DGs), with grid-interface options, were applied on a case study of a typical dwelling in the Eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.
