Electric energy storage for heat can be achieved through electric storage heaters1and electric thermal storage heaters2:Electric storage heaters use electricity to generate heat and store it inside their core, often made from heavy clay blocks.Electric thermal storage heaters are stand-alone, off-peak heating systems that store heat in specially designed, high-density ceramic bricks for extended periods.

The Mubuga Solar Power Station is a grid-connected 7.5 MW power plant in . The power station was constructed between January 2020 and October 2021, by Gigawatt Global Coöperatief, the Netherlands-based multinational (IPP), through its local subsidiary Gigawatt Global Burundi SA. The off-taker for this power station is Régie de production et distribution d’eau et d’électricité (), the Burundian electricity utility. [pdf]
Burundi has natural conditions favourable to the sustainable use of water and solar energy or wind power. The solar potential of Burundi is very interesting. The average annual power received is around 2000 kWh / m² per year, equivalent to the best European regions (southern Mediterranean).
The power station is located in the settlement of Mubuga, in the Gitega Province of Burundi, approximately 15.2 kilometres (9 mi), northeast of the city of Gitega, the political capital of that country. This power station is the first grid-connected solar project developed by an IPP in Burundi.
Another estimated 25-50 people were hired to operate the power station. In May 2023, Evariste Ndayishimiye, the president of Burundi toured the solar farm and personally gave his approval for the power station's capacity to be expanded to 15 megawatts.

A 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) governs the sale of electricity between Gigawatt Global Burundi SA and REGIDESO. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor was Voltalia of France, which was also awarded the operations, management and maintenance contract.

Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows surplus thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region. Usage examples are the balancing of energy demand between daytime and nighttim. The answer is Thermal Energy Storage—which acts like a battery in a heating and cooling chiller plant to help improve energy, cost and carbon efficiency. Besides offering a great ROI, adding thermal energy storage is highly affordable thanks to recent tax incentives. [pdf]
