Ourolux aims to make a significant leap in the Brazilian energy storage market. The company has set a goal of closing 2027 with over 100 MWh deployed in Brazil and starting 2028 with that volume already consolidated, driven by the growing demand for solutions designed to reduce costs and overcome restrictions on injecting energy into the grid.
This was stated by Beatriz Saheli , Head of New Business at Ourolux, in an interview with Energía Estratégica during The Smarter E South America 2026 .
“This year, we want to implement, together with our integrator partners and EPC contractors, at least three times more of what we already have in our portfolio,” the executive stated.
The commercial focus will be primarily on the commercial and industrial segment , with special attention to retail chains, although the company also works with industrial and agribusiness clients, in addition to maintaining a presence in the residential market.
According to Saheli, storage is gaining appeal because it addresses two specific needs: improving consumption management and increasing the efficiency of solar generation.
In Brazil, restrictions associated with energy distributors have hindered the progress of certain photovoltaic projects, since "they have limited access to injecting energy into the system."
This scenario unfolds against a backdrop of ever-expanding photovoltaic infrastructure. Brazil reached 74.3 GW of installed solar capacity and more than 4.7 million distributed generation systems in July 2026, according to ABSOLAR.
For its part, EPE already identifies behind-the-meter storage as a tool to increase self-consumption, shift demand and reduce peak consumption, with applications that can achieve economic viability below certain battery cost levels.
Given this scenario, Ourolux is betting on behind-the-meter configurations, which combine solar generation and batteries to increase self-consumption and shift energy use to more convenient times.
Trade, one of the engines of growth
Saheli identified the commercial and retail sector as one of the segments that has been showing the greatest dynamism and credit risk .
The explanation lies in the very structure of the business: they have high electricity consumption, operate for long periods, and work with narrow margins. Therefore, reducing energy costs can have a significant impact.
“These are businesses that operate on small margins, and that’s precisely why every penny counts,” he said.
In these cases, one of the main applications is time-shifting, whereby the battery stores energy to use it at another time, optimizing the consumption profile of the establishment.
The company has facilities distributed throughout Brazil, a coverage it intends to leverage to expand the adoption of the technology among regional networks with multiple points of consumption.
Technological alliances to reach 100 MWh
To support this expansion, Ourolux invested in a specialized team to provide support to its integrators and partners , dedicated to training, no-obligation technical visits, project sizing, and after-sales services.
Ourolux's BESS team is led by Beatriz and includes engineering, legal, and programming professionals, guaranteeing a high-quality service for integrators and EPC contractors.
In addition, Ourolux works with manufacturers such as SolaX and SOFAR , with whom it seeks to adapt equipment and solutions to the needs of the Brazilian market.
Saheli emphasized that, in addition to technology, the company prioritizes factors such as local support, equipment availability, and the ability of suppliers to respond to the specific needs of each client.
This component will be fundamental to sustaining the expected growth over the coming months.
The most ambitious target is projected for the end of 2027. “I believe we will end next year with more than 100 MWh deployed solely through Ourolux’s partner network,” he stated.
In this way, the company expects to start 2028 with more than 100 MWh implemented, significantly expanding its presence in the storage market and consolidating batteries as one of its main lines of business within the Brazilian energy sector.
