Nigeria grid-side energy storage project

President Bola Tinubu has disclosed that the Nigeria-Grid Battery Energy Storage System will benefit from a planned $500 million facility from the African Development Bank (AfDB). Tinubu added that the system will provide electricity to 2 million Nigerians. With its ultra-large capacity in the ampere-hour range, it is specifically developed for the 4-8 hour long-duration energy storage market. By using ∞Cell 1175Ah, the energy storage system integration efficiency increases by 35%, significantly simplifying system integration complexity, and reducing the overall cost of the DC side energy storage system by 25%.
