6 FAQs about [Argentina battery storage for home electricity]
How many people can a lithium battery power Buenos Aires?
The plant will generate 15 megawatts per year, which means it will produce lithium batteries capable of powering 2500 households. The batteries are envisaged for use in rural areas. For example, there is already a Buenos Aires province-backed project to supply the Paulino-Berisso island, home to 70 families who are currently off the power grid.
Where will lithium batteries be made in Buenos Aires?
State company Y-TEC, the tech arm of YPF, will open the first lithium battery cell factory in September, in La Plata, the capital of Buenos Aires province. Another plant, five times bigger, will kick off in Santiago del Estero in 2024.
Can lithium batteries be used to store energy?
Salvarezza also said that major renewable energy companies are already contacting them to install lithium batteries in their wind and solar farms, since the electrical power grid is saturated. Lithium batteries would thus be a way to store energy until it’s ready for distribution.
Will Chile pay a capacity payment for energy storage projects in 2024?
Chile passed an energy storage and electromobility bill in late 2022, making stand-alone storage projects profitable for operators. However, the market is still awaiting new rules regarding a capacity payment for storage projects—expected in 2024.
