As a region, Latin America is already leading the way in terms of offering bright prospects for the future of renewable energy and a cleaner electricity system. With a record 319 GW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity either announced, in pre-construction, or under construction, the region is positioned to grow its large-scale solar and wind power capacity by more than 460% by 2030. In 2024, LatAm and the Caribbean generated around 64% of their electricity output from clean energy sources, which is above the global average of 39% – and hopes remain high for the integration of energy storage across regional markets
In this session, Luis Castillo, Regional Manager for LATAM at SolaX Power, will explore how next-generation C&I and utility-scale storage systems are reshaping project economics and reliability. He will highlight how easy installation, AI-driven optimization, and integrated safety design reduce CapEx and operational risks, while modular, pre-commissioned utility platforms with real-time monitoring and advanced diagnostics enable scalability, fast maintenance, and resilience in extreme conditions. Attendees will gain practical insights into how innovation in design and operations translates into lower costs, higher availability, and improved returns for energy storage projects across Latin America.
This panel will bring together industry leaders in the renewables and storage space, to talk about the challenges and bottlenecks that regional markets in LATAM face when it comes to integrating energy storage, and how they should be building on the success of solar and wind deployment to date.
One of the most severe and widespread problems facing renewable asset owners across the region is curtailment, which is particularly pronounced in Northern Chile, and which many attribute as the driving force behind its success in storage deployment so far. With renewables pushing down prices on the day-ahead electricity market and reducing earnings, it is estimated that around 8 GW of battery storage will be needed to provide system stability and increase revenue for asset owners. This panel will bring together players who have successfully deployed storage in Chile, to address how their projects can help alleviate these problems.
Rich in wind, solar, and other natural resources, Latin America has the potential to be a global leader in renewable energy. With the global battery supply chain coming in sharper focus, and the politicization of naturally occurring mineral resources, how can LATAM leverage the resources it already has and in turn strengthen its domestic supply chain?
In this presentation, Daniel Crotzer, CEO of Fractal EMS, will provide a comprehensive overview of the battery storage commissioning process, from mechanical completion to COD, while highlighting pitfalls and best practices.
Join this exclusive keynote to hear from the Secretary of Energy, Maria Tettamanti, detailing more information on the impact of the latest energy market reforms in Argentina, and future opportunities for expanding the storage landscape.
Chile has established itself as the most advanced BESS market in Latin America, setting the pace with large-scale deployments and innovative regulation. Building on this foundation, countries across the region are rapidly adopting storage to enhance renewable integration and grid reliability. Clou, a Midea Technology Company, has already delivered over 1 GWh of BESS projects in Chile and Argentina, proving our technology and commitment.
In this session, Clou will showcase their latest developments and how Clou maximizes project value, empowering a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy future for the region.
What does the financing landscape look like for energy projects in Latin America, and how are key stakeholders interacting with different markets?
Maximizing energy throughput is essential for battery storage profitability. This session explores how predictive analytics can boost system availability by identifying performance bottlenecks, guiding maintenance decisions, and uncovering hidden energy losses. Attendees will gain practical insights into using data to improve reliability and recover lost megawatt-hours.
As Latin America accelerates its energy transition, energy storage is emerging as a critical enabler for grid stability, renewable integration, and long-term decarbonization. This session will provide a benchmark overview of the region’s leading storage markets—Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Panama, and the Dominican Republic—analyzing their short- and medium-term outlook.
We will address three central dimensions shaping investment decisions and market development:
For the first time, we are hosting country-focused networking roundtables at the Summit, where you will be able to sit down with experts and leaders with expertise in specific emerging markets and discuss key challenges, hot topics, and potential roadblocks face-to-face.
Each table will be presided over by at least one host, if not multiple, who are close to the market and able to share their insight on the future roadmap for that country. Markets covered will include:
Argentina has already made significant strides in expanding its renewable energy capacity through a series of transparent competitive tenders, awarding 667MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) in its first tender under the AlmaGBA scheme. This first tender which closed earlier this year was oversubscribed and ended well above the 500 MW target— receiving bids totaling 1,347 MW from 15 companies.
Join this fireside chat with the Argentine grid operator, CAMMESA, sharing exclusive insight into the upcoming tenders and auctions which will help propel Argentina’s energy storage market forward.
With no clear path to guaranteed capacity payments in Chile post-2034, what regulatory clarity does the industry need to ensure continued investment and growth in the energy storage sector?
As LATAM accelerates its clean energy transition, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are playing a vital role in grid stability and renewable integration. But the success of these systems hinges not just on hardware, choosing the right Energy Management System (EMS) software is crucial. In this 15-minute presentation, FlexGen explores how EMS software impacts operational efficiency, market participation, and ROI in Chile’s evolving energy landscape. Attendees will gain insights into key EMS selection criteria, real-world performance data, and how software-driven optimization is becoming even more important in Latin America’s most dynamic energy market.
As Chile continues its upward trajectory to becoming a leading energy storage market globally, find out how owners and operators are planning to harness a lucrative combination of arbitrage, capacity payments, and ancillary services.
With the mining sector playing a fundamental role in Latin America, how will the needs of mining industry affect future BESS deployment and power demand?
One big challenge in Latin America is transmission – and energy storage is one of the best-known solutions for this problem. In this Ask-Me-Anything session, we bring together some of the most well-versed and knowledgeable leaders in the sector to answer your questions on this topic. Delegates are encouraged to submit questions in advance, and the session on the day will be interactive.
