Energy Storage in Brazil – Prospects and Challenges

Renewable energies are gaining in importance due to rising
electricity tariffs, falling equipment cost, and partially also
due to changes in rainfall patterns that affect reservoirs of
large hydropower plants, especially in Northeastern Brazil. Many
private individuals, SMEs, but also the agricultural sector are
looking for cheaper alternatives to self-supply through solar
energy. In part significant hurdles are again posing challenges
for market entry in Brazil. A distinction must be made between
structural obstacles and cyclical difficulties. But what exactly
do they look like? In this podcast episode, Markus Vlasits,
director of NewCharge Energy, will take a look at the prospects
and the challenges of energy storage in Brazil.
