Explore Brazil''s battery energy storage systems, focusing on current regulations, investment opportunities, and the role of these systems in the energy transition.
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.
Why Brazil Is the New Frontier for Energy Storage Let''s face it: When you think of lithium, your mind probably jumps to electric cars or smartphones. But here''s a twist – Brazil is
The consultant said the nation added 269 MWh in 2024 alone, a rise of 29% from 2023. An unreliable grid is driving Brazilian energy storage demand. The world is set to have
The transition to a low-carbon energy matrix has driven the electrification of vehicles (EVs), yet charging infrastructure—particularly fast direct current (DC) chargers—can
The conditions are in place for the country''s battery energy storage market to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% to 30%, as Holu Solar''s Sophia

A study by Brazilian consultancy Greener has indicated that the country installed 269 MWh of energy storage capacity in 2024, growth of 29% from 2023. Demand for battery energy storage system (BESS) components grew 89% in Brazil from 2023 to 2024 and most of the resulting systems are likely to be installed in 2025.
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.
Sophia Costa, head of new business at Holu Solar said market analysts expect Brazil’s lithium battery sector to grow at a CAGR of 20% to 30% through 2030. “We have observed that the battery energy storage system (BESS) market is booming globally with the use of lithium-ion batteries becoming a reality in many parts of the world,” said Costa.
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.
