Brazil launched on Thursday its first large-scale energy storage system with a total capacity of 30 MW, power sector regulator Aneel announced.
The Brazilian electricity market is changing as the country expands the generation of weather-dependent renewable energy based on wind and solar power. At the same time, electricity consumption is set to increase significantly in the coming years.
Brazil could receive an estimated BRL 2 trillion in investments towards the green economy over ten years. "We are not going to throw away the meaning of the energy transition. This country has already thrown away too many opportunities. We cannot throw away opportunities. We need to bear in mind that we have everything.
Operating Brazil's electricity grid has become more complex, requiring more flexibility, as energy sources with a variable output - such as wind and solar - have gained space in the country's matrix. The batteries would help counterbalance the variability of renewable generation stepping in when output from renewable sources is lower.
Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. The Brazilian government plans to include batteries and other forms of energy storage to compete in energy auctions which are set to happen in the first half of 2024, an official from the Mines and Energy Ministry told Reuters.
"We already have 27 gigawatts of hydrogen projects registered with the Ministry of Mines and Energy, which will bring in BRL 200 billion in investment. With the projects that we are making feasible and that are not in the PAC, we will increase this number even more and present it to Brazil," he said.
