Oluwe Kijani Development (OKD) and EezyPower International have jointly launched the EezyPower large-scale energy storage system, which aims to provide a sustainable and reliable energy storage solution for urban, rural, and remote regions.
According to OKD Managing Director Joagh Matsi, the storage systems are the solution to the challenges brought by conventional battery storage systems.
“This energy storage system is scalable and designed to cater for 50kWh up to 20MWh energy plants and can be tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of each user or each project,” he said.
Matsi explained that the system aims to enhance storage for solar energy, and thereby enhancing the capacity of solar energy in the country.
“So everyone that has a solar plant at the moment is saving in different entities, the possibility that the energy storage solution is bringing here is basically to enhance or to increase the renewable energy so it will benefit the end users significantly,” Matsi stated.
Matsi further explained that the energy storage solution has the potential to reduce the country’s dependency on imported electricity and possibly create a market for the country to export electricity as well.
“But if we are able to utilise such a technology and look at independent power producers where some of them are exporting their energy outside through renewable energy, they are exporting with the energy storage solution, we have a possibility of increasing exports,” he explained.
He said the system provides a chance for power utilities and governments to distribute power generation, effectively tackling and minimising the energy deficit in both the national grid and Namibia overall.
