Brazil bets big on batteries
The “BESS-as-a-service” model, in which consumers access the benefits of storage without purchasing the equipment outright, is gaining traction among manufacturers and integrators
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.
Investment, incentives and taxation scenarios According to Brazilian law, there are no legal restrictions on direct foreign investment in the battery storage businesses or in the power sector (except in very specific segments or sectors of the economy).
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.
Founded in 1973, Unipower, UCB Power's stationary battery brand, leads the market with innovation and quality. Unipower was the first to manufacture lithium-ion stationary batteries and obtain the Inmetro quality seal. USOLUTION® offers smart, reliable, and sustainable energy storage solutions.
