Chile’s hybrid heroics In 2024, Chile passed a law incentivizing battery development paired with utility-scale solar. This move quickly led to a flood of big battery project announcements, as the capacity payments model combined with arbitrage revenue means hybrid solar and storage is very profitable. By the end of 2026, Chile is expected to surpass 6 GW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) capacity.

Wood Mackenzie raises Latin America storage forecast to 34 GW by 2035 Wood Mackenzie forecasts Latin America’s energy storage capacity to surge from 2.5 GW in 2025 to 34 GW by 2035, driven by renewable curtailment, grid constraints, auctions, and supportive policies. Chile leads deployment, while Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic are scaling up, though unclear revenue models, financing constraints, and regulatory gaps remain key barriers.

Grid upgrades critical for Colombian solar Colombia’s cumulative solar capacity passed the 4.5 GW mark earlier in 2026, according to the government’s Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME). While it will likely fall short of the 6 GW target for non-conventional renewable energy set at the start of outgoing President Gustavo Petro’s term, the country has seen an uptick in demand for solar, and is growing into one of South America’s leading PV markets.
