Argentina''s First Battery Energy Storage Systems Tender Draws
Argentina has taken a decisive step toward modernizing its power infrastructure, drawing international attention with its first large-scale battery energy storage tender.
The initiative aims to deploy 500 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Greater Buenos Aires Area (GBA), but the submitted capacity has far exceeded expectations—reaching a combined 1,347 MW
The $540 million investment in energy storage isn't just about keeping the lights on in Buenos Aires. It's a strategic bet on a more flexible, reliable, and sustainable energy future for Argentina – and potentially, a blueprint for the entire region. What role will energy storage play in your country's energy transition?
Intended to strengthen the grid in the greater Buenos Aires region, the program has attracted a lot of attention; it has been subscribed to projects that are about twice the desired capacity.
The suggested battery energy storage systems (BESS) have to provide at least a discharge of four hours and comply with the international best practice of commercial and industrial energy storage (C&I ESS).
