Maseru Energy Storage Power Station Powering Africa s
Summary: The Maseru Energy Storage Power Station represents a groundbreaking leap in energy storage solutions for Southern Africa. This article explores its technological
This plant directly uses solar energy to produce hydrogen, which is then made available at the public hydrogen refuelling station for trucks and heavy-duty applications. The electrolyser will produce green hydrogen utilizing the electricity input from the solar park and the energy stored in the BESS (Battery Energy Storage System).
North African nations need to develop clear strategies, not only for hydrogen production but also for how it fits into their broader energy policies. This includes regulatory support for renewable energy projects, hydrogen certification, and cross-border trade agreements.
However, this transition is not without its complexities and challenges. As covered in our recently published 2025 Outlook Report, The State of African Energy, North Africa offers several compelling advantages, marking it as a prospective green hydrogen mega-producer.
Transportation Infrastructure: South Africa leads in hydrogen transport infrastructure development, with plans for at least five refuelling stations by 2025 to support the deployment of 500 hydrogen-powered buses and trucks by 2030. Namibia has also made early progress with Africa's first hydrogen refuelling station at Walvis Bay.
