The authorization granted by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) for the first battery storage system co-located with a solar power plant in Brazil marks a significant step forward in the modernization of the national electricity sector.
The project, developed by Statkraft, combines photovoltaic generation and storage at a single connection point, a model considered strategic for expanding the operational flexibility of the SIN (National Interconnected System).
The project will be installed at the Sol de Brotas 7 photovoltaic plant, located in Uibaí (BA), and will have 1.250 kW of power and 5.016 kWh of storage capacity. The system is already under development and integrates a broader hybrid arrangement associated with the Ventos de Santa Eugênia and Morro do Cruzeiro wind farm complexes, both of which are in operation.
This initiative comes at a time when the Brazilian electricity sector is facing increasing challenges related to the accelerated expansion of intermittent renewable sources, increased curtailment, and the need for greater predictability in system operation.
During the authorization signing ceremony, the director-general of ANEELSandoval Feitosa described the project as a regulatory milestone for the country.
"It's a moment of great joy because a challenge has been set for the..." ANEEL And we, once again, have fulfilled our mission. Batteries come as a medium- and short-term solution to a problem that will worsen over time,” he stated.
