What is the future of Bess in Latin America?
To provide a view of what is to come, AMI breaks down the status and opportunities of BESS in main Latin American markets. Chile passed an energy storage and electromobility bill in late 2022, making stand-alone storage projects profitable for operators.
What factors affect the ROI of a Bess?
External Factors that influence the ROI of a BESS The cost of electricity, including peak and off-peak rates, significantly impacts the ROI. Energy storage systems can store cheaper off-peak energy for use during expensive peak periods.
What is the revenue model for Bess?
The revenue model for BESS includes multiple streams that contribute to financial viability: Market Sales and Purchases: The BESS generates profit through energy arbitrage, charging when electricity prices are low and discharging when prices peak. This method leverages market fluctuations to ensure optimal profitability.
