The numbers suggest it''s more than possible - with Addis Ababa''s grid-scale storage capacity projected to hit 800MWh by 2026, they''re already halfway to becoming Africa''s first battery-powered megacity.
The project, which includes a total lithium-ion storage capacity of 1,330 kWh, successfully electrified the communities of Gera, Oborso, Kurtile, and Oda. With the project''s completion, 4,000
Africa''s energy storage market has boomed since 2017, rising from 31MWh to 1,600MWh in 2024, according to trade body AFSIA Solar.
While Addis Ababa enjoys an electrification rate of nearly 93%, regions such as Afar and Somali remain below 12%. From 2019 to 2024, 2.2 million households were connected to the grid.
Industrial energy storage batteries are transforming Addis Ababa''s manufacturing landscape through improved power reliability and cost efficiency. With proper technology selection and system design,
