UCB Power has inaugurated what it says is Brazil's first photovoltaic power plant with sodium battery storage, installed in the remote Amazonian community of Tumbira. Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy is looking to launch its first battery storage auction. Initially postponed from June to the second half of 2025, and with a date not yet set. . There has been a surge in the introduction of wind and solar power, especially small-scale, distributed generation projects, mainly solar photovoltaic, which reached an installed capacity of 37GW in 2025. A public consultation regarding the auction should be launched in the coming days, as details regarding the capacity sought and the total amount allocated for the auction have. .
[pdf] Located in the Plaine-Ayémé area—just 30 kilometres from Libreville—the Ayémé PV plant is now the largest solar power facility in Central Africa. This project marks a significant step toward reducing Gabon's dependence on fossil fuels and expanding access to clean, reliable energy. . UAE-based Global South Utilities has begun construction on a 50 MW solar project with 10 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Central African Republic. Operational since Q2 2023, this $420 million hybrid facility combines 180MW solar PV with 76MW/305MWh battery storage – making it Sub-Saharan Africa's largest integrated renewable. . As part of efforts to attain energy security, the Central African Republic (CAR) has launched a 25 MW solar power generation facility, inaugurated by President Faustin-Archange Touadéra last week.
