Join us for an insightful exploration of the rapid growth and impact of Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) in LATAM region around the diverse needs of different local markets. LATAM region is very diverse in terms of language, energy matrix composition, electricity market design, normative requirements. As such, the adoption of BESS will be as diverse as the region itself in terms of needs, grid compliance and more. BESS is a very versatile technology, where although batteries (the heart of the BESS plant) may be very standard, projects must always be customized according to the grid needs, regulations and environmental considerations. This webinar will focus on how wide-scope, locally based partners for BESS integral solutions can aid utility companies to achieve efficient projects and business models in the very fast-changing electricity market and regulatory setting of LATAM region.

This Halloween, GridBeyond invites you to step into the shadows and discover the darker side of energy storage. While the industry is full of opportunity, there are also plenty of chilling tales where projects have gone horribly wrong. From assets haunted by poor optimization, to those cursed by risky trading decisions, and even systems trapped in the cobwebs of outdated forecasting methods, the risks are real—and they can be terrifying. In our special event, we’ll lift the lid on these real-world “horror stories” from the market.
