Brazilian energy storage stone development

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 can advanced battery technology be used in Brazil?

Innovative approaches can connect individual areas such as electricity, heating, cooling and mobility. In order to make use of the advanced battery technology, the legal, technical, educational and economic framework conditions in Brazil require analysis and, in part, improvement.

How is the Brazilian electricity market changing?

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.

Is ISO CTEEP the first large-scale battery energy storage system?

ISO CTEEP claimed it as the first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) on Brazil’s transmission grid. The project required a total US$27 million investment. The transmission operator is permitted by regulations to earn up to US$5 million revenues from the asset each year.

What are the framework conditions for using energy storage technologies?

The framework conditions have been established for the comprehensive use of energy storage technologies in important market segments. Together with institutional partners, the project analyses how the technical, regulatory and economic framework conditions for using electricity storage technologies can be established.
