South Africa’s ambition to establish a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) gigafactory has gathered real momentum following the release of the Localisation Support Fund (LSF) feasibility study undertaken by Ernst & Young Advisory Services (EY-Parthenon). According to the study, a gigafactory with an annual production capacity of between 5 GWh and 10 GWh is commercially viable, supported by growing regional demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS), a strong industrial base and access to many of the minerals required for battery production.
