Electrical systems in the world are changing. The so-called “alternative” energies have become the most installed source of electricity in the world, above thermal sources, and surpassing the installation rate of hydroelectric plants, among renewable energies. Solar installation levels are defying even the most optimistic projections, and each new tender brings prices that compete, without subsidies, with the prices of traditional sources. We are experiencing an energy revolution. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), 61% of energy came from renewable sources in 2020, and, through the RELAC Initiative , the region has set the joint goal of reaching 70% renewable energy.

By 2030 To do this, the region will need to accelerate the pace of investments, particularly in solar and wind energy, which in 2020 represented only 9% of regional generation. Furthermore, these C Level Executive List investments must necessarily be complemented by the modernization and rehabilitation of the existing hydroelectric park , which guarantees a 50% renewable generation base, as well as the expansion and strengthening of transmission networks. The massive installation of wind and solar generation requires increasing the flexibility of electrical systems , in order to manage the natural variability of these sources and guarantee security and reliability in supply.



This flexibility can be obtained through firm backup generation (fossil, and/or hydroelectric), demand management, regional interconnections, or storage systems. Projections show that electrical energy storage, both small and large scale, should be part of the region's electrical systems in the short to medium term . Reversible hydroelectric plants are the most widespread form of electricity storage today. They allow energy storage by pumping water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir in hours of low demand (or excess generation), to later be used to generate electricity in hours of high electricity demand (or low generation).
