The World Bank Group has approved plans to develop Botswana"s first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with 50MW output and 200MWh storage capacity. In 2023, the total installed capacity of BES stood at 45. . By 2030, 140MW of BESS will be needed to support the uptake of renewable energy generation. Tsogwane revealed that the Government is investing about one billio Pula (P1,00 in Botswana through a loan of $88 million. While coal provides baseline power, it's sort of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut – environmentally destructive and increasingly expensive.
