Over the past two years, South America's new energy storage market has seen a price reduction of 43% for lithium-ion battery systems. This isn't just good news—it's a game-changer for renewable energy adoption across the continent.
[pdf] South Korea has advanced its floating renewable energy plans with the completion of a landmark solar project at Imha Dam, east of the city of Andong. The facility delivers 47 MW of capacity, which is the largest floating PV installation on a multipurpose dam in the country, the company said.
[pdf] Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh. Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs.
[pdf] Chile's Decree 112 now requires all new solar farms above 50MW to include 4-hour storage capacity. Meanwhile, Brazil's ANEEL launched a distributed storage subsidy program that's driven 92MW of residential battery installations since January 2025.
[pdf] Nigeria’s West Africa Container Terminal (WACT) has signed a significant Solar Lease Agreement with Starsight Energy, to provide an expected 1.2-Gigawatt hours of solar electricity each year over a 15-year period.
[pdf] In March 2025, a fire at a solar-linked storage facility in Gangjin-gun destroyed 3,852 battery modules, causing 10 billion KRW in losses and injuring a firefighter [4].
