Brasol expands battery solutions for retail companies.

Brasol, one of the leading developers, investors, and operators of energy transition infrastructure in Brazil, announced the expansion of its battery energy storage system (BESS) solution, using a leasing model ("energy as a service"), to the retail sector, without requiring any capital investment (Capex) from the client.

According to the company, the expansion aims to meet critical demands of the sector, such as losses due to instability in the electrical grid and the constant increase in energy costs.

“Energy has ceased to be merely an operational cost and has become a strategic pillar in retail. Instability in the electrical grid means not only an inconvenience, but real losses in revenue, products, and damage to equipment, especially for supermarkets, pharmacies, and fast-food chains,” stated Diogo Zaverucha, director of the Energy Storage Business Unit at Brasol.

“We have developed an innovative battery leasing solution that addresses this vulnerability, offering protection and confidence in energy support without requiring the retailer to invest more or worry about the operation,” he added.

According to Zaverucha, the business model promises that retail chains will have access to a differentiated energy infrastructure, while Brasol will be responsible for the entire operation and maintenance of the system, including continuous monitoring and technical support.

According to the company, compared to traditional alternatives such as diesel generators, the BESS solution is silent, emits no pollutants, and has significantly lower maintenance costs. In addition, it aligns the retailer's operation with the growing demands for sustainability and ESG responsibility.

Brasol also stated that the offer is especially relevant in a scenario of continuously rising energy tariffs, challenges in the quality of the distribution network, and increasing pressure for ESG targets from investors and consumers.

Technology not only acts as a backup in case of failures, ensuring the continuity of sales and the preservation of perishable products, but also improves the quality of the distributor's energy supply, protecting sensitive equipment.

“Our proposal represents a rare convergence. While addressing a concrete operational pain point in the retail sector—energy efficiency—it offers a model that eliminates financial barriers for the customer. The retailer no longer invests and operates without additional costs. They receive quality energy, protection against outages, and, in many cases, a reduction in their electricity bill, all within a single service contract,” Zaverucha emphasized.

With its expansion into the retail sector, Brasol reinforces its commitment to innovation and the energy transition in Brazil, positioning itself as a strategic partner for the resilience and sustainability of the sector.
