Large-scale storage could transform Brazil's National Interconnected System (SIN), providing steady power supply, lowering system costs, strengthening operational reliability, and better incorporating renewable energy. This panel will examine how battery storage can tackle multiple needs—from supporting capacity markets to managing short-term prices—while identifying the next steps for its adoption nationwide.

Expanding energy storage requires fresh business models and adaptive financing structures that can support different applications at various scales. This panel will debate new approaches like hybrid contracts, storage-as-a-service, flexibility aggregation, lease markets, and shared infrastructure solutions.

The growing use of distributed generation, rising power demand, and worsening weather disruptions have been straining distribution grids. This panel will discuss how local energy storage can help ease grid pressures, postpone structural upgrades, and ensure reliable supply in critical areas, while providing grid operators with tangible benefits in service quality and operational efficiency.

Brazil's energy storage expansion involves technological developments far beyond battery cells; it must encompass materials R&D, electrochemical design, grid integration, safety standards, digitalization, and market applications. This panel will chart the complete BESS innovation roadmap, examining critical gaps and opportunities at each milestone, from advanced chemistries to smart controls and recycling systems.
