Seasonal storage: options to the option
In an update to a report it released earlier this year, Norway-headquartered consultancy DNV GL laid out the role it sees for both seasonal heat storage as well as pumped hydro to aid take care of the 1.4 TW of variable renewable resource capacity it forecasts to be connected to European electrical power grids by 2050. DNV GL maintains the initial report's verdict that where seasonal storage space is concerned, hydrogen will be the first option.

South Africa plans to allocate at least 6 GW of large scale solar by 2030
That would take the country to 8.28 GW of generation capacity by the end of the next decade with the government stating up to 6 GW of small scale capacity could be required on top. By that stage, however, coal would still amount to 43% of generation capacity and gas and diesel a combined 8.1%, under the new Integrated Resource Plan.
