6 FAQs about [Energy storage investment in brazil]
What is Brazil's first large-scale energy storage system?
Brazil launched on Thursday its first large-scale energy storage system with a total capacity of 30 MW, power sector regulator Aneel announced.
Does Brazil need energy storage regulations?
Specifically for Brazil, as shown in the results, there is no resolution that specifically addresses energy storage, even though some regulations currently in force may indirectly influence the adoption of ESS technologies, such as regulations for electric vehicles, differentiated hourly tariffs, among others.
How can ESS be economically viable in the Brazilian electricity market?
Some actions already implemented in the Brazilian electricity market, such as the hourly spot prices and the reduction of the minimum size required to access the free market, are considered necessary starting points in search of the economic viability of utility-scale ESS.
What is Brazil's largest battery storage project?
Further details about Brazil’s largest battery storage project to date have been revealed including its integrators and equipment providers. The inauguration of the 30MW/60MWh system took place last year, on the networks of transmission system operator (TSO) ISO CTEEP, as reported by Energy-Storage.news in November.
How do energy contracts work in Brazil?
Another point that needs to be defined is the type of contract to be assumed in the energy storage market. Nowadays, the most used way of energy contracting in Brazil is regulated market auctions, considering the lowest tariff criterion.
Can Utility-scale energy storage systems be used in Brazil?
Such challenges are minimized by the incorporation of utility-scale energy storage systems (ESS), providing flexibility and reliability to the electrical system. Despite the benefits brought by ESS, the technology still has limited investment and application in Brazil.
