Emerging Business Models for Energy Storage: Lessons from More Advanced Markets

Energy storage is enabling new business models across different segments of the electricity sector, from generation and transmission to distribution and end users. This session will present national and international experiences with commercial BESS applications, including projects associated with generation assets, grid solutions, services for distribution utilities, and opportunities in more mature markets. The panel will seek to identify which models can scale in Brazil and what regulatory, contractual, and commercial adjustments are needed to unlock investment in the sector.
