3 FAQs about [Irena battery storage Central African Republic]

What does the Irena roadmap say about energy storage?

The IRENA roadmap talks about a pressing need, as well as an opportunity, to use energy storage to aid renewable energy deployment. Image: wikimedia user: Oblivious.

How will Irena's energy transition impact the economy?

The energy transition under IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario pathway predicts 6.4% higher GDP, 3.5% higher economy-wide jobs and a 25.4% higher welfare index than that realised under current plans, on average up to 2050. Jobs created in the renewable energy transition will outweigh those lost by moving away from traditional energy.

Can pumped storage facilities be used as battery storage facilities?

While IRENA predicts that pumped storage facilities will also increase – from 150GW in 2014 to as much as 325GW by 2030, there is also an understanding that with high capex required and suitable geographic locations harder to find, these installations may not be used as diversely or as nimbly constructed as battery storage facilities.
