South Africa also produces aluminum from imported bauxite. Semi-fabricator Hulamin supplies the US market with fabricated products for EV batteries (Hedley, 2023). A significant number of firms assembling battery packs from imported cells for the BESS market have been established, including capabilities in battery management systems and components.
The Africa Natural Resources Management and Investment Center (ANRC) of the African Development Bank (AfDB) estimates dramatic increases in global demand for various battery minerals by 2040, representing a very clear opportunity for African countries to scale up their mining and processing of battery minerals to meet this demand.
However, demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS), while still below 10% of total battery demand, has accelerated rapidly. BESS demand grew by 100% in 2023, compared to a 40% increase in EV demand.
Other major battery cell makers include CATL, Panasonic, Nissan/AESC and Tesla. CATL also produces battery packs, while Nissan/AESC is vertically integrated through to car production. Tesla is vertically integrated from battery cell production through to car production and on to distribution.
Enter the Dodoma Battery Energy Storage project – the "power bank" saving the dance party. This initiative isn''t just about batteries; it''s rewriting how East Africa tackles energy poverty.
