Changes to Brazil's first capacity reserve auction of 2025 could undermine the expansion of the procurement regime to include battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the second exercise of the year, according to Markus Vlasits, chairman of Brazil's energy storage trade body.
Such challenges are minimized by the incorporation of utility-scale energy storage systems (ESS), providing flexibility and reliability to the electrical system. Despite the benefits brought by ESS, the technology still has limited investment and application in Brazil.
Specifically for Brazil, as shown in the results, there is no resolution that specifically addresses energy storage, even though some regulations currently in force may indirectly influence the adoption of ESS technologies, such as regulations for electric vehicles, differentiated hourly tariffs, among others.
Changes to Brazil's first capacity reserve auction of 2025 could undermine the expansion of the procurement regime to include battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the second exercise of the year, according to Markus Vlasits, chairman of Brazil's energy storage trade body.
Another point that needs to be defined is the type of contract to be assumed in the energy storage market. Nowadays, the most used way of energy contracting in Brazil is regulated market auctions, considering the lowest tariff criterion.
In the last decades, Brazil experienced the opening of its electric sector and the realization of strategies to encourage the use of RES, in order to reduce the dependence on large hydroelectric plants in its energy matrix .
