Energy storage is beginning to position itself as one of the pillars for the next stage of the Argentine renewable energy market , in a context marked by new regulatory signals such as the Alma SADI tender for 700 MW. In this scenario, Luiz Fernando Biagini, Head of Sales Southern Cone at Sungrow , stated that Argentina could experience accelerated growth in BESS systems, with projections that could significantly exceed initial market forecasts.
" In past years we used to talk about conservative numbers like 3 GWh in storage, maybe 6 GWh as a more aggressive figure, and I think much more is going to happen ," the executive said, referring to the potential installed capacity of BESS systems in the country in the coming years.
According to the executive, this logic marks a new stage for the development of the energy market in Argentina , where batteries will allow for the optimization of renewable energy management and improve the stability of the electrical system.

According to the executive, this logic marks a new stage for the development of the energy market in Argentina , where batteries will allow for the optimization of renewable energy management and improve the stability of the electrical system.
In that context, Sungrow seeks to position itself as one of the technological players that will accompany that growth.
The company already has more than 10 GWh of installed storage in Latin America , experience that allows it to transfer technical and operational knowledge to new markets such as Argentina.
" In 2025 we already have 4.8 GWh sold in Latin America and for 2026 we have around 5 GWh committed ," Biagini said, referring to the pipeline of BESS projects in the region.
The executive also highlighted that the growth of storage in Argentina will not depend solely on technology , but also on regulatory evolution and the signals that the market begins to consolidate in the coming years.
In that context, Biagini argued that flexibility will be a central element for developers and technology providers , since each project presents different requirements depending on the electrical system and the business model.
Each customer has a different need, so having a product that suits their needs is key.
"Having a system that lasts 20 years with signed PPAs and that can guarantee the energy that our customers will deliver to the grid is a very big responsibility," Biagini pointed out.
In parallel, the executive highlighted that the technological evolution of storage will continue to advance to accompany the growth of the market, so Sungrow recently launched PowerTitan 3 , a solution designed for utility scale applications with 6.9 MWh per container.
Chile is the laboratory of Latin America; perhaps everything happens there first and then it goes to other countries.
Having that technology, knowing that we are market leaders and that we have the ability to commission in record time gives us a lot of confidence to bring that technology to Argentina, he pointed out.
