Argentina kicks off 500-MW battery storage auction
Argentina''s Energy Secretariat within the Ministry of Economy has launched an auction to contract 500 MW of new battery energy
Argentina has opened a $500 million battery storage tender aimed at adding 500 MW of new energy storage capacity in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. The AlmaGBA program, managed by CAMMESA, offers long-term contracts with fixed payments and financial guarantees to attract developers.
Argentina has taken a major step toward modernizing its energy infrastructure with the launch of a 500 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) tender under the AlmaGBA program.
The $540 million investment in energy storage isn't just about keeping the lights on in Buenos Aires. It's a strategic bet on a more flexible, reliable, and sustainable energy future for Argentina – and potentially, a blueprint for the entire region. What role will energy storage play in your country's energy transition?
Buenos Aires, with its dense urban load and aging infrastructure, is an ideal candidate for such an upgrade. Moreover, this tender arrives at a time when battery prices are becoming increasingly competitive, and international developers are actively seeking new markets with clear regulatory frameworks and stable revenue models.
