Currently, two utility-use systems are already operational on the country's network:
Termozipa (2021): Built by ENEL in Cundinamarca, this system has a capacity of 7 MW / 3.9 MWh and has been operating since 2021.
Celsia Solar Palmira 2 (2024): Located in the Cauca Valley, this 1 MW / 2 MWh project is coupled to a photovoltaic plant and began operating this year.
⚡In addition, Erco Energy's project in La Martina, with a capacity of 6.9 MWh, stands out as an initiative in the development phase that promises to further strengthen the storage infrastructure.
⚖️ The recognition of BESS by the Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG) in the regulatory framework (Resolution 098), added to the participation of the IDB in some of these projects, underlines the growing interest and support from public policy.
🌎 This year is crucial for the future of BESS projects in Colombia. Law 2099 sets a goal of reaching 6 GW of renewable energy, such as solar and wind, by 2026, which implies a significant boost for electrical storage.
The big bet on electrical storage in LATAM is getting stronger every day.
