The Brazilian Minister of Energy and Mining has unveiled an auction for battery energy storage projects to be held in 2025. This year''s events bring together Latin America''s leading investors, policymakers, developers, utilities, network operators, EPCs and more all in one place to discuss the landscape of energy storage in the region.
The energy transition to low-carbon systems is a key challenge for the coming decades. Renewable energy sources (RES), such as wind and solar power, can play a crucial role in tackling climate change and reducing CO 2 emissions. However, the fluctuating nature and limited predictability of these energy sources, and the resulting non-dispatchability of power
Looking ahead, there is reason for optimism for battery energy storage. The industry has shown adaptability in the face of adversity, and the collaborative efforts between developers, brokers and insurers are paving the way for safer projects. Carriers are only likely to become smarter and more comfortable with storage as the technology matures.
