It’s essentially a gravity-powered battery that can generate 12MW for up to 8 hours. Bonus points: locals call it "the waterfall that flows backward." Malabo’s engineers are experimenting with storage solutions that’ll make your smartphone jealous:
[pdf] The Botswana energy storage project is quietly becoming Africa’s dark horse in the clean energy race. As of March 2025, this $120 million initiative has already deployed enough battery capacity to power 15,000 homes during peak demand.
[pdf] A small-scale commercial and industrial energy storage system primarily consists of modules such as battery systems (e.g., lithium iron phosphate batteries), battery management systems (BMS), energy storage inverters (PCS), and energy management systems (EMS), supporting flexible configuration via AC/DC coupling modes.
