Big bets on Bess
AS the market awaits the award of the large scale solar 5+ (LSS5+) programme, strong interest is also building around the country's inaugural tender for battery energy storage systems (Bess), which was launched late last year.
Dubbed MyBeST, the initiative is structured as a two-stage bidding process and targets 400MW of battery power capacity with 1,600MWh of energy storage, slated to begin full operation by 2026/2027.
