Brazil’s energy storage sector must attract R47 billion ($7 billion) in investments by 2030, according to the Brazilian Energy Storage Solutions Association (Absae). Stakeholders are in the process of creating a regulatory framework for energy storage.
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.
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).
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.
The Capacity Reserve Auctions, planned to start in June 2025, promise to boost investments for the adoption of storage, with the possibility of procuring 2 GW per year. For Rodrigues, these auctions are the key to putting Brazil among global leaders in the use of storage systems.
Historically, the Brazilian electricity matrix has been based on hydropower. However, over the last two decades, the mix of installed capacity has changed significantly through the introduction of different energy sources.
