Investment in the energy sector is expected to boost economic growth in Malawi, with the government committing to support the $16 million BESS Project to meet its February 2026
GEAPP''s first battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Africa, a 20 MW BESS in Malawi''s capital city, Lilongwe.
In a country where energy access remains a critical challenge, the establishment of a phase change energy storage system production plant in Malawi could be a game-changer.
Located adjacent to ESCOM''s Nkhoma substation in Lilongwe District, our 60MW/240MWh BESS is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2027. Our BESS project will provide peak power,
