Regulating Energy Storage in Africa

ASR Webinar

This webinar explored how regulatory frameworks can support the deployment of energy storage across Africa as solar and wind generation expand. Energy storage can help balance variable renewable generation, manage peak demand and strengthen grid stability and reliability.

Discussions examined regulatory barriers to investment and deployment, alongside the policy frameworks, market incentives and technical standards needed to support the sector’s development.

Drawing on African and international case studies, the session highlighted approaches to creating a regulatory environment that enables energy storage to scale and support the transition to more sustainable electricity systems.
