Malawi’s Largest Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage System

Located adjacent to ESCOM’s Nkhoma substation in Lilongwe District, our 60MW/240MWh BESS is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2027. Our BESS project will provide peak power, support renewable energy integration, and enhance overall grid stability. By harnessing and storing low-cost surplus power and balancing renewable energy sources during the day, we can ensure electricity  availability during high demand periods. This not only supports greater renewable energy integration across Malawi but also fortifies the country’s role in the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), fostering regional energy collaboration and the potential to  sell power.

 Nkhoma BESS Project Specifics:

  • Technology: Lithium Ion Phosphate (LFP) Battery, the safest and most cost-effective chemistry for utility-scale storage

  • Capacity: 60MW / 240MWh

  • Status: Late-stage development, Financial Close scheduled for 2026
