Energy Storage in Latin America: Market Outlook, Regulatory Pathways, and Investment Perspectives

Synopsis

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:

1. Market growth outlook: What is the three-year perspective for new storage capacity across the most dynamic markets?
2. Regulatory environment: How do clear regulatory frameworks—or the absence of them—affect demand, project pipelines, and investor confidence?
3. Pricing and market design: What regulatory and pricing models are being adopted, and how do they compare across jurisdictions?
