Yes, energy storage power stations do consume energy. They use electricity primarily for operation, maintenance, and ancillary services. The amount of energy consumed can vary significantly based on factors such as the storage capacity and the frequency of charge and discharge cycles. For instance, larger energy storage systems require more electricity to charge and maintain, with annual consumption estimates ranging from 50 MWh to 100 GWh depending on various operational factors24.

In Senegal, Senelec has signed a 20-year agreement with Infinity Power for a 40MW/160MWh battery energy storage system. This project, expected to commence construction in early 2024 at the Tobène substation, aims to become operational in 2025 and will be one of the largest of its kind in West Africa, helping to avoid approximately 37,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually2. Additionally, DNV is involved in a feasibility study for another battery storage project in Senegal, indicating ongoing developments in the country's energy storage capabilities3. [pdf]
