Envision Energy has energised Morocco’s first large-scale lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage system at OCP Green Energy’s Benguerir mining site. The 25 MW / 125 MWh BESS (battery energy storage system) was supplied and commissioned under a contract signed in late 2025 and is undergoing testing before commercial operation. It will store surplus daytime solar generation for peak consumption hours, reducing the site’s peak-hour electricity bill by approximately 25%. Supported by USD 20 million from the Clean Technology Fund, managed through the African Development Bank Group, the system is designed for a 25-year lifetime with daily charge-discharge cycles. The project supports Morocco’s target of obtaining 52% of installed electricity capacity from renewable sources by 2030 and provides a benchmark for industrial decarbonisation across Africa.
