How CooliEnergy's Modular BESS Solutions Reduce Energy Costs for DRC Businesses

CooliEnergy Modular BESS Solutions

In the Democratic Republic of Congo’s commercial and industrial sectors, reliable power supply remains a persistent challenge, despite the country’s vast hydroelectric potential. The emergence of battery energy storage systems (BESS), particularly those utilizing LiFePO4 technology, offers Congolese businesses a transformative approach to overcome frequent power outages and reduce operational costs.

DRC’s Energy Landscape and Storage Opportunities

The DRC faces a paradoxical energy situation: while possessing immense hydroelectric resources capable of generating 100,000 MW, the country has one of Africa’s lowest electricity access rates at approximately 19%. This energy deficit forces many businesses to rely on expensive diesel generators, with industrial enterprises spending up to 40% of their operational costs on backup power solutions. Within this context, battery storage systems have become crucial solutions for Congolese businesses seeking to enhance energy resilience and reduce costs. Research indicates that by strategically integrating BESS with existing power sources, businesses can reduce energy costs by up to 35% while improving power reliability.
