Scatec has begun producing and supplying electricity to the South Africa national grid from its three Kenhardt plants in Northern Cape Province.
The project, one of the world’s first and largest hybrid solar and battery storage facilities, has an installed solar capacity of 540 MW and a battery storage capacity of 225 MW. The plant delivers 150 MW of dispatchable power 16.5 hours per day, year-round to the national grid.
“Today, we embark on an exciting journey into a new era of energy solutions. The Kenhardt project symbolizes not only a technological triumph but a commitment to shaping a sustainable future,” says Terje Pilskog, CEO of Scatec. “This is more than just a power plant; it’s a testament to the limitless potential of integrating solar and battery storage to meet the evolving energy needs of today and tomorrow.”
“This isn’t just about powering homes; it’s about empowering communities,” adds Scatec’s Jan Fourie. “The Kenhardt project showcases the resilience and reliability of renewable energy, proving it to be a steadfast source of electricity capacity for the grid. Dispatchable renewables are the future.”
Scatec holds 51% of the equity and H1 Holdings owns the remaining 49%. Project debt is provided by a group of lenders which includes The Standard Bank Group as lead arranger and British International Investment.

Scatec Begins Solar, Battery Storage Production at Kenhardt Plants
Remarkably, there are still people on this Earth who agree with Mr. Hayek. It appeared that their numbers were thinning out, until Donald Trump came along and gave straight white Christian men permission to be the most disgusting people imaginable.
Social justice brought us the end of the divine right of kings and slavery; it brought us the Age of Reason and the incorporation of science into policymaking.
Even the most despicable Americans in the most backwater parts of the United States will face steep consequences if they lynch a black man, and don’t forget that lynching in the Deep South was as popular as baseball only 100 years ago.
One of the key features of Trumpism is that facts don’t matter–and this includes facts that members of the MAGA base experience every time they go to the grocery store or fill up their gas tank.
If Trump or one of his minions says it, it must be true, regardless of how blatantly false it is.
Here, Samuel L. Jackson provides a fresh insight into today’s Republican party. It’s the polar opposite of the idea we all learned as children: live and let live.
People who aren’t straight white Christian males are the enemy.
