Abstract

Malawi is constructing its first battery-energy system to protect its grid from cyclones that have caused significant damage in recent years. The project, funded by the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet, aims to provide backup power for households and businesses during outages caused by extreme weather events. With a significant portion of its energy coming from hydropower, Malawi's grid is particularly vulnerable, and the new system is expected to help bridge the energy gap for the majority of the population without access to power.
