As of March 2025, the global energy storage market has ballooned to $78 billion, with lithium-ion batteries commanding 62% of installations . But here's the kicker—Brazil holds 18% of the world's lithium reserves yet contributes less than 5% to global battery production.
[pdf] Colombia's first grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) came online in 2023 near Medellín – a 20MW/40MWh behemoth that's essentially a giant Tesla Powerwall for the national grid. Here's why it matters: Move over, oil.
[pdf] Lithium-ion batteries can be stored for 2 to 3 years with minimal capacity loss. For best results, keep them in a cool place at around 20°C (68°F) and maintain humidity between 40-60%. Following these storage recommendations helps prolong the battery’s life and efficiency.
[pdf] The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024.
[pdf] MUNICH, Germany (Wednesday 7th May 2025): New analysis reveals another year of record installations for European* battery storage, despite slower year-on-year growth, according to the latest European Market Outlook for Battery Storage. 15% growth. Battery storage forecast.
[pdf] Since 2022, Bairen Energy Storage has deployed 47 battery energy storage systems (BESS) across West Africa. Their Ouagadougou flagship project—a 20MW/80MWh lithium-ion facility—powers 15,000 homes after dark using solar energy captured during daylight.
