Buenos Aires Emergency Energy Storage Power Supply
Learn how battery energy storage systems (BESS) offer a more efficient, sustainable, and flexible solution for emergency power supply applications compared to diesel standby generators.
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.
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.
Lack of energy storage and backup systems —Argentina has limited energy storage capacity. This makes it hard to stabilize the grid during supply fluctuations. Power cuts and blackouts have led to consequences affecting the economy, public services, regional energy security, and daily life.
Argentina's 1.3 GW battery storage tender marks a transformative leap toward grid resilience and clean energy leadership in Latin America.
