In Brazil, where the energy matrix already has a high penetration of renewable sources, Aggreko has explored hybrid technologies that combine gas generators, batteries and solar panels, ensuring the efficiency and reliability demanded by customers.
For 2025, the company maintains optimistic outlooks, highlighting its operations in Brazil and Latin America as a strategic pillar for the global energy transition. With COP 30 taking place in November in Belém, the company stated that it is positioning itself as a protagonist in the discussion on sustainable and integrated solutions to meet the region's energy demands.
According to Pablo Varela, Aggreko's executive director for Latin America, 2024 was a year of consolidation and operational adjustments that paved the way for structured growth in this new year.
“In 2024, we focused on organizing processes and improving the supply chain, which allowed us to better serve our customers and position ourselves strategically for the challenges of 2025. Our goal now is to lead initiatives that combine reliability, efficiency and sustainability in energy solutions,” said Varela.
“Brazilian regulations, such as the Distributed Generation Law, have been a differentiator in stimulating renewable investments. However, challenges such as the integration of intermittent energy into the electrical grid and the expansion of storage capacity still need to be addressed. Our experience in hybrid solutions and battery storage positions Aggreko as an essential partner to solve these problems,” he explained.
According to him, the company is committed to collaborating with governments, companies and NGOs to promote energy solutions that are financially viable, environmentally responsible and that guarantee energy security. “Our goal is to demonstrate how energy infrastructure can be a catalyst for sustainable development in Latin America.”
Last year, Aggreko achieved important milestones in its operations in Brazil and the region. With a focus on understanding customers’ needs and challenges – whether their priorities, costs, deadlines, emissions reductions or others – the company expanded its presence in Latin America, including in remote areas and presented customized short- and long-term solutions for sectors such as utilities, mining, oil and gas.
Aggreko is also at the forefront of using emerging technologies. In 2024, they will advance global trials of hydrogen as a complement to fossil fuels, developing open-cycle hybrid generators that reduce emissions without compromising reliability.
At COP 30, Aggreko plans to highlight these advances in emerging technologies, including the use of green hydrogen, microgrids and next-generation hybrid systems. “Aggreko has a clear commitment to reducing global emissions, including a bold target to reduce diesel consumption by 50% by 2030, through the introduction of innovative equipment, biofuels, increased gas generation and other initiatives,” he said.
Projections for 2025
The company projects growth of 9% in Latin America this year, driven mainly by the Utilities, Mining, and Oil & Gas sectors. The company expects to increase its market share in the Mining sector, with an expected expansion of 13%, and increase its presence in the Oil & Gas segment by 7%, in addition to consolidating its leadership in Utilities, with an estimated growth of 8%.
“Our goal for the coming years is to continue delivering customized solutions that respect the particularities of each client and market. We are prepared to offer innovative and reliable technologies that boost the efficiency of our clients’ operations,” concluded Pablo Varela.
A clear example of the impact of Aggreko’s solutions is the project developed in the Amazon region, where 26 isolated communities receive 140 MW of reliable and efficient energy. The company’s generators, transported by barges over more than 20.000 km of rivers, ensured an 8% reduction in diesel consumption compared to conventional standards, promoting fuel savings and reducing emissions.
