Argentina Electric Energy Storage Project

Argentina's Ministry of Economy has invited proposals for a 500 MW battery storage project in Buenos Aires, requiring USD 500 million in investment. The project aims to modernise infrastructure, enhance grid stability, and attract private investment, with completion targeted within 12-18 months. The energy storage arm of Chinese solar PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow announced the signing of an agreement earlier this week with renewable energy company MSR-Green Energy (MSR-GE) for the 100MW/400MWh project in Sabah, a state in northern Borneo.

How much money will Buenos Aires invest in a new storage system?

This initiative, unprecedented in the South American country but already applied worldwide, seeks to add 500 MW of storage capacity in critical nodes of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA), with an estimated investment of $500mn and an execution period of 12-18 months.

Why is the Argentine electricity system undergoing a paradigm shift?

After decades of disinvestment, the Argentine electricity system faces serious challenges in terms of infrastructure and response capacity. This tender for state-of-the-art batteries (BESS) marks a paradigm shift, prioritizing private investment and technological innovation to solve structural problems.

Why is Argentina preparing a contingency plan?

This action is part of a series of measures that the national government under Argentina’s president Javier Milei has been developing since Oct. 2024 as part of a contingency plan, which includes short, medium and long-term actions to recover an electrical system that in Dec. 2023 was in a critical state, the Energy Secretariat said.

Who is guarantor of electricity storage contracts?

Wholesale electricity market management company Cammesa will act as guarantor of the storage contracts that will be made with distributors Edenor and Edesur. It will also set the date for the presentation of the offers. The latest date for the commercial authorization of all the equipment is set for Dec. 31, 2028.
