Brasilia energy storage power plant operation
The power generation system is composed by hydro (reservoir storage, run-of-river, pumped-storage), thermal (natural gas, coal, diesel), nuclear and other renewable power plants.
Interest in the auction has been expressed by power companies such as Portugal's EDP and Brazil's ISA Energia. The auction will enhance Brazil's power grid reliability by integrating energy storage solutions for electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar.

Brazil is set to conduct its first auction for adding batteries and storage systems to the national power grid, as reported by Reuters. The auction, to take place in June 2025, will include 300MW energy capacity purchase that could drive an estimated $450m in investments from winning bidders, according to consultants Oliver Wyman.
Brazil typically conducts auctions to secure power capacity for periods when demand peaks but supply diminishes, such as late afternoons – a time when solar power production declines. The June 2025 auction, exclusively for batteries and storage systems, is the first time the government allows such technologies to participate.
