Latin America''s Energy Storage Boom: Market & Outlook 2025
Local developers like Quartux and ON Energy have installed dozens of MWh of behind-the-meter batteries at hotels, resorts, and factories in tourist regions like Cancún – A
Colombia's Ministry of Energy and Mines is considering launching tenders for storage co-located with solar and wind farms in La Guajira, a region with high renewable resource potential but weak grid infrastructure. Argentina entered the BESS race with the “Alma GBA” tender for 500 MW of storage, launched in early 2025 and worth $500 million.
Latin America is entering a transformative decade in its energy landscape, driven by the urgent need to expand power output, decarbonize, lower energy costs, improve grid resilience, and integrate massive volumes of renewable energy. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as the linchpin technology to realize these objectives.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as the linchpin technology to realize these objectives. With projected revenues of nearly $5.9 billion by 2030—up from $680 million in 2023—the region is poised for a rapid and uneven expansion in storage markets across utility-scale, commercial & industrial (C&I), and remote grid applications.
For example, data centers and large manufacturers are deploying battery systems to ride through outages and perform peak shaving (reducing peak demand charges) – demand for storage components in Brazil's C&I segment jumped nearly 90% from 2023 to 2024.
