The ordinance for Brazil’s planned capacity reserve auction for BESS should be published by the end of May, according to minister for mines and energy, Alexandre Silveira. The minister yesterday confirmed the deadline to journalists during the Energy Leaders Forum event, in Rio de Janeiro. “I’m going to China now, including to talk to Huawei and many other players that we are in talks with around the world, to attract investment for batteries,” said Silveira.

The battery industry is entering a new phase of development, the IEA has said, with the global market expanding and technology gradually standardizing. This will likely result in further consolidation across a sector which is being reshaped by government-led efforts to geographically diversify battery supply chains, according to the world energy body. The global battery market is growing rapidly as demand increases and prices continue to fall.

Demand for battery energy storage system (BESS) components grew 89% in Brazil from 2023 to 2024 and most of the resulting systems are likely to be installed in 2025. That demand, part of a BESS market which could be worth more than BRL 22.5 billion ($3.79 billion) by 2030, was recorded by Brazilian consultancy Greener in its “Strategic Study on Energy Storage” report. Greener found Brazil reached 685 MWh of energy storage capacity last year, with 70% of BESS not grid connected.
