Malawi has completed the installation of southern Africa's only utility-scale battery storage system outside South Africa and Namibia, a 20-megawatt facility designed to help stabilise power supplies in one of the world's least electrified countries.
Officials from the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) switched on the battery over the weekend as the country seeks to make its power network more resilient to climate shocks. A strong El Nino weather pattern is bringing higher temperatures that are expected to reduce flows in the Shire River, on which Malawi relies for most of its hydropower.
马拉维已建成南部非洲（除南非和纳米比亚外）首个公用事业级电池储能系统。这座20兆瓦的设施旨在帮助这个全球电气化程度最低的国家之一稳定电力供应。
马拉维电力供应公司（ESCOM）的官员在上周末启动了该电池系统，该国正寻求让电网更能抵御气候冲击。强烈的厄尔尼诺天气模式正在带来更高气温，预计将减少希雷河的流量——马拉维的大部分水电依赖该河流。
