Get a quoteThe current wave of excitement around Chile’s BESS market started in October 2022, when the Chilean government passed legislation that incentivised the deployment of energy storage. The bill allows standalone energy storage systems to receive income from dispatching their energy and power in the country’s National Electric System market.
The Dominican Republic’s National Energy Commission (CNE) issued a resolution in February 2023 that requires BESS storage to be paired with large solar assets. However, the renumeration is not yet clear and developers are concerned about interconnection delays for their BESS assets.
As of now, Colombia’s reliability charge (Cargo por Confiabilidad) has encouraged hybrid solar + BESS projects to progress. Large energy companies have expressed that there are no Power Purchasing Agreements (PPAs) available specifically for stand-alone storage projects, making it harder to finance those projects.
Having energy storage in Chile is no longer a luxury asset but has become an “absolute necessity”, explains Alejandro McDonough, business development manager of Americas area sales at Wärtsilä Energy Storage and Optimisation (Wärtsilä ES&O).
Under ASAP, IPPs with existing PPAs with Puerto Rico’s Power Authority (PREPA) would add BESS at their locations “on an accelerated basis,” leading to an estimated 380 MW of additional contracted BESS capacity by 2026. 3 Peru has no existing BESS regulation and is currently evaluating how to move forward with battery storage projects.
Colombia’s BESS tender in 2021, won by Canadian Solar, was a good step forward, but there is still no clear regulation on how stand-alone BESS will be compensated. Regulators are debating whether to handle storage as a transmission or generation asset, given its flexibility.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
