In West Africa, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are being deployed to enhance household energy storage solutions. The West African Power Pool (WAPP) is leading efforts to create a regulatory framework for these systems, which aim to optimize the use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar1. Additionally, countries in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are exploring battery storage systems to achieve their green electrification goals, thereby improving energy access and stability2.
