According to AESC, Envision ESS recently signed a supply contract with France's EDF Group to provide battery energy storage systems for three standalone ESS projects led by EDF in South Africa. The projects have a total installed capacity of 257MW/1,028MWh, making Envision ESS the first energy storage system integrator in South Africa to secure a GWh-level order.

It is reported that these projects are three of the five preferred bids under South Africa's first round of the Battery Energy Storage Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (BESIPPPP). The projects were awarded to the Oasis consortium, formed by EDF and local partners, and include the Oasis Aggeneis, Oasis Mookodi, and Oasis Nieuwehoop power stations, which are expected to be completed and operational by the end of 2026.

Envision ESS will provide the projects with a complete set of AC and DC energy storage equipment, station SCADA, and EMS systems. The DC side will feature a standard 20-foot 5MWh energy storage system, utilizing AESC's high-safety, high-performance 315Ah energy storage-specific battery cells. Envision ESS will also offer 15 years of full life cycle operation and maintenance services.

According to available information, EDF Group ranked 49th in the 2024 Fortune Global 500 and is actively expanding its wind power, PV, and energy storage businesses worldwide, aiming to achieve 60GW of net renewable energy installed capacity by 2030.

Envision ESS is a smart energy storage system provider with full-stack technology, entire industry chain, and full life cycle asset management capabilities. It continues to drive innovation in intelligent trading and grid integration technologies, enabling the coupling of energy storage with electricity markets and power systems. Its shipments ranked fifth globally in H1 2024.
