4 FAQs about [Energy storage solution Colombia]
What are the opportunities for battery energy storage systems in Latin America?
The opportunities for battery energy storage systems are growing rapidly in Latin America. Below are some key details for those who want to understand and succeed in the BESS market. In 2010, the IEA projected that the world would reach its 2019 solar penetration only in 2035. Analysts underestimated solar adoption by 16 years.
Does Colombia have a power purchase agreement for hybrid solar & Bess projects?
As of now, Colombia’s reliability charge (Cargo por Confiabilidad) has encouraged hybrid solar + BESS projects to progress. Large energy companies have expressed that there are no Power Purchasing Agreements (PPAs) available specifically for stand-alone storage projects, making it harder to finance those projects.
Will Chile pay a capacity payment for energy storage projects in 2024?
Chile passed an energy storage and electromobility bill in late 2022, making stand-alone storage projects profitable for operators. However, the market is still awaiting new rules regarding a capacity payment for storage projects—expected in 2024.
Is energy storage legal in Brazil?
Brazil’s regulatory framework does not prohibit energy storage solutions, but there are currently no specific regulations on storage. At the end of 2023, most BESS applications in Brazil were behind the meter. There is a proposed law on energy storage to encourage front-of-the-meter BESS, but Congress has not prioritized its approval.
