HyperStrong seeks to position itself as a key player in the new era of energy storage in Brazil . The company, which boasts over 70 GWh of annual production capacity, already has a local presence and is in advanced discussions with developers, power generators, and investment funds.
After more than a year of regulatory definitions, the South American giant launched the Capacity Reserve Auction in Power Mode (LRCAP in Portuguese) and divided the process into two calls scheduled for December 2026. Market interest has already reached a record scale , with 6,091 projects registered with the Energy Research Company (EPE) for 296.8 GW of power .
In that context, within the framework of The smarter E South America , Energía Estratégica spoke with Chance Chambers, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at HyperStrong, who confirmed the intention to actively participate in the BESS tender and detailed the company's technological, financial and commercial strategy for Brazil and the rest of Latin America.
–What does Brazil's first storage auction represent for HyperStrong?
This is a significant moment, similar to what the first renewable energy auctions for wind and solar power represented in Brazil. It marks a significant step in modernizing the regulatory framework for the electricity sector. The LRCAP call for bids is a historic opportunity.
In that regard, HyperStrong plans to actively participate. We have already established a local team in Brazil, led by our Country Manager, Ruy Lima , and are in advanced discussions with developers, game builders, and investment funds.
–Will the volume that could be contracted be sufficient for the needs of the Brazilian system?
–Last year there was a public announcement estimating 8 GWh to be contracted, and we consider that an important first step. However, we believe it is still modest considering Brazil's capacity needs.
The country is already experiencing a significant curtailment of renewable energy due to its intermittency. Energy storage is the natural solution to capture that value and improve grid stability.
–How is HyperStrong preparing to compete in that market?
–Our solutions are already adapted to Brazilian conditions. We have, for example, a 10-foot modular format that simplifies logistics in areas with infrastructure limitations .
We also offer flexible Long Term Service Agreements (LTSAs), ranging from five to 20 years , accompanied by performance guarantees.
–What concrete solutions will lead to utility-scale projects?
–For large-scale projects we offer HyperBlock M , a modular system specifically designed to reduce indirect costs and simplify deployment.
The solution achieves a full cycle efficiency of at least 94% in two-hour configurations and 96% in four-hour systems , and can reach up to 20 years of operational life with support through long-term service agreements.
Each module weighs 24 tons and is compatible with sea, road, and rail transport. The design also allows for side-by-side and back-to-back arrangements, providing flexibility to adapt to different site configurations.
–Do you also see opportunities outside of large-scale projects?
–Yes. We are prepared to supply the commercial and industrial segment with our HyperCube C&I series. We are targeting sectors that are growing rapidly in Brazil, such as isolated microgrids, agribusiness, and data centers .
That's why we're bringing the full HyperStrong portfolio to the country, but adapted to local needs.
–And what role does bankability play when competing for these projects?
–This is one of our differentiators. We have the backing of global financial institutions, including Santander, KfW, Rabobank, and ING. We have also maintained an AA bankability rating from PV Tech Research for three consecutive quarters since the fourth quarter of 2025.
We also focus on local engagement, so we have regional centers in Houston for the Americas, Frankfurt for EMEA, and Sydney for APAC.
In Brazil, we already have a local team with engineering and project implementation capabilities. We're not here for a single auction; we're here for the long haul.
–Does the company's financial situation allow it to accelerate this international expansion?
–The results validate our business model and strategic transformation.
For the first half of 2026, we expect revenues to grow by up to 53% year-on-year , while net profit and adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders could increase by up to 122% and 170% , respectively.
What is particularly significant is that the projected growth in net profit far exceeds that of revenue . This signals margin expansion and the successful execution of our transformation from an equipment supplier to an integrated energy services provider.
We are capturing higher-value opportunities by integrating systems, operational services, and lifecycle management, not just by selling hardware.
–Where does Brazil fit into HyperStrong's regional strategy?
–We have been building our presence in Latin America methodically and with a defined purpose over the last two years.
Mexico was our first major market, where we have already launched projects and signed more than 45 MWh in contracts for the commercial and industrial segment . Chile followed.
Brazil is the next natural step and, frankly, it's one of the most interesting markets we've seen globally. What sets us apart is that we're not newcomers.
–Beyond these three markets, what opportunities do you see in Latin America?
–The entire region is at a turning point. In Mexico, regulatory changes requiring BESS systems in at least 30% of renewable energy projects create a growth horizon of at least five years.
Chile remains competitive, but it continues to be active, and we are working there with developers and independent power producers. We have also identified opportunities in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia , as well as Central America, including Honduras and Guatemala.
While in the Caribbean, particularly in the Dominican Republic, there are battery storage plans that exceed 1 GWh , where we are already looking to position ourselves.
