South America is the continent most dependent on renewable energy, but it is a market that has been difficult for the energy storage industry to penetrate – most South
Thermal energy storage (tes) holds promise in specific South American applications. Sensible heat tes, utilizing materials like molten salts for storing thermal energy, finds potential in
As in North America, where grid capacity and record-breaking growth in renewable power generation run counter to each other, existing solar photovoltaic (PV) projects are
That''s the reality of hybrid energy storage projects in South America, where countries like Chile and Brazil are leading a renewable energy revolution. With ambitious
The projects include about 600 miles of new transmission and 400 miles of reconductored wiring as well as grid-enhancing technologies, long-duration energy storage, solar energy and
Discover the costs of solar systems with battery storage in our comprehensive guide. Learn about pricing for solar panels and batteries, installation fees, and financial
The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) dropped to $0.08/kWh—cheaper than diesel peaker plants. This success is sort of rewriting the rules for hybrid solar-storage projects across arid regions.

Furthermore, due to abundant resource endowment and enabling solid policies, South America's solar energy capacity alone is expected to grow by a factor of 40 by 2050 to more than 280 GW. In December 2022, Equinor reached a final investment decision on the 531 MW Mendubim solar project in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
The 420 MW solar PV park Sol de Caone (Sphere Energy unit ItahueEnergy), the 236 MWp PV park Don Daro (Ebco Energa), and the 79 MWp solar farm Inca de VarasI (GPG) are among these projects.
In December 2022, Equinor reached a final investment decision on the 531 MW Mendubim solar project in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The project is a joint venture between Scatec, Hydro Rein, and Equinor and is being built at an estimated investment of USD 431 million.
Brazil and Chile are the major contributors to the region's increased solar capacity. Brazil will hold 13.05 GW of solar installed capacity in 2021. In Chile, the installed solar capacity was 4.47 GW in 2021. Argentina, on the other hand, produces a small amount of solar energy, with an installed capacity of 1.07 GW in 2021.
