"We would like to bring our congratulations to the Globeleq team for their great
achievement, this will be a landmark project both in South Africa and globally.
To our knowledge, this is the largest stand-alone battery storage project to be
constructed in Africa to date, and paves the way for large-scale deployment of a
technology that Magnora believes will be essential for South Africa to meet its
energy demand and in the global green transition," says Erik Sneve, CEO of
Magnora. "We have appreciated the cooperation with Globeleq, and we are looking
forward to developing this and other projects together with them".
