Orania kissing load-shedding goodbye with massive battery

Orania in the Northern Cape recently took delivery of a large battery energy storage system (BESS) that will help the town avoid the first six stages of load-shedding.

Orania's electricity distributor, Orasol, told MyBroadband that the 4.8MWh BESS offers 4.3MWh of useable capacity with a maximum output of 2.75MW.
 
If they pull this off before Cape Town does then Orania will be the first city in South Africa to be load shedding free
City?
They only have to cater for 2k people, not difficult. Its like a big estate.
How many people stay in Midstream Estate?
