Grid-Scale Battery Storage: Costs, Value, and Regulatory Framework in India Webinar jointly hosted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Prayas Energy Group
With well-designed policies and regulations, Brazil has significant potential to follow in the footsteps of jurisdictions like California and Chile for large-scale battery storage, Germany for distributed and large-scale storage, and Australia for both pumped hydro and large-scale battery systems.
Flexible generation and correlated solutions, including battery energy storage systems (BESS), are therefore likely to be at a premium in the future.
Holu’s Costa observed batteries were prominent during the Intersolar South America trade show held in São Paulo at the end of August 2024. She added, hundreds of manufacturers are bringing energy storage products to Brazil.
Investment, incentives and taxation scenarios According to Brazilian law, there are no legal restrictions on direct foreign investment in the battery storage businesses or in the power sector (except in very specific segments or sectors of the economy).
That trend is corroborated by a recent study by the International Energy Agency, which predicted the volume of global installed battery storage will rise from 200 GW, in 2023, to more than 1 TW by 2030, and almost 5 TW by 2050.
Conclusion Although energy storage solutions have yet to be widely deployed in Brazil, generation flexibility remains a scarce commodity. Therefore, storage projects, including pumped hydro, could be the missing piece needed to enhance the country’s energy system.
