Panama made history with its 2024 tender for 500 MW of renewables plus storage, aiming for 120–150 MW of BESS deployment. This represents the first market-based approach to energy storage in Central America, potentially serving as a model for the region.
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 25 MWh C&I battery by Quartux in Cancún is cited as the largest C&I installation in Latin America.
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.
The utility scale segment dominates Chile’s energy storage landscape. Large power generation companies are the primary investors in BESS, usually pairing them with renewable plants. Key players include Engie, AES Andes (AES), Enel, and Colbún, who are deploying batteries to provide firm capacity and ancillary services.
