Battery storage in Latin America

Colombia''s BESS tender in 2021, won by Canadian Solar, was a good step forward, but there is still no clear regulation on how stand-alone BESS will be compensated. Regulators are debating whether to handle storage as a transmission or generation asset, given its flexibility. Colombia''s reliability charge has

4 FAQs about [Colombia bess tenders]

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.

Does Peru have a Bess regulation?

Peru has no existing BESS regulation and is currently evaluating how to move forward with battery storage projects. In fact, in January 2024, Peru’s energy and mining investment regulator, Osinergmin, opened a request for a proposal for a study on energy storage.

Does Mexico have a Bess market?

Mexico’s FTM BESS market is practically nonexistent. BESS is not defined by law but rather by the market. Storage projects must register as an active plant (“central electrica”) and be represented by a market participant, in this case, a generator. Hence, they pay transmission and other charges, making stand-alone projects unprofitable.

Will a PPA add Bess in Puerto Rico?

Under ASAP, IPPs with existing PPAs with Puerto Rico’s Power Authority (PREPA) would add BESS at their locations “on an accelerated basis,” leading to an estimated 380 MW of additional contracted BESS capacity by 2026. 3 Peru has no existing BESS regulation and is currently evaluating how to move forward with battery storage projects.
