PEG-5 auction allocates 1.1 GW of clean energy out of 1.5 GW total, positioning storage-backed renewables at the core of future power system expansion



PEG-5 auction allocates 1.1 GW of clean energy out of 1.5 GW total, positioning storage-backed renewables at the core of future power system expansion
Less than a week before the 12 April elections, Peru faces a highly fragmented landscape and widespread voter indecision, with nearly one-third of the electorate still undecided. At the same time, leading candidates broadly agree on promoting renewable energy, albeit with limited policy detail, as the sector anticipates strong growth and awaits the regulation of Law 32249.
CFE’s qualified supply subsidiary signs power purchase agreements with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners to integrate two solar PV projects in Campeche, supporting Mexico’s renewable energy and grid reliability strategy.
The “Smiles Behind Every Kilowatt” initiative invites solar professionals worldwide to share project experiences, highlighting the human expertise driving renewable energy deployment.
The local utility becomes the first distribution company to fully replace purchases from the wholesale market administrator with a private generator, signalling new contracting models in Argentina’s electricity sector.
Manuel Nanjarí Contreras, an experienced socioeconomist, will lead energy policy in one of Chile’s key renewable energy regions.
Transmission capacity, regulation and country risk are shaping renewable energy growth across Central America, with Guatemala gaining momentum while Honduras faces grid limitations.
The fifth edition of the event will take place in April in Santo Domingo and will feature representatives from leading companies such as Sungrow, CATL, JA Solar and CIFI. In a market that received bids totalling 1,655 MWp with energy storage, the focus will be on those shaping the regional energy business.
An 8 MW solar PV project now supplies Stellantis’ Córdoba industrial complex with clean electricity, as part of a USD 100 million investment plan to accelerate renewable energy use and decarbonisation in Argentina.
The company is progressing with the Wayra Solar wind–solar complex in Ica, which will exceed 400 MW of installed capacity and is expected to begin commercial operations in the final quarter of the year.
With one week to go before the event, executives from leading companies will analyse key trends in clean generation, technological solutions and contracting models driving the energy transition.
Permits, grid access and financial structure will determine which renewable energy projects succeed in Mexico’s highly competitive 7.5 GW mixed-investment call.
Germany’s onshore wind auction doubled the tendered capacity (7,858 MW vs. 3,445 MW), pushing prices to their lowest level since 2018, while rooftop solar PV saw lower participation (177 MW vs. 283 MW tendered) but stable tariffs.
Under President José Antonio Kast’s administration, Chile approves major wind and hybrid solar-wind projects, boosting renewable energy capacity and grid integration across key regions.
The international lender highlights financial structuring, grid access and regulatory predictability as critical variables in Argentina, while stressing the need to combine local and international capital.
New 2026 regulation introduces long-term contracts integrating storage, generation and grids to boost renewable energy investment, enhance reliability and reduce electricity price volatility.
Nearly 50 projects in play and an average price of USD 101/MWh define the PEG-5 landscape, with Tuncaj leading by number of contracts and Consorcio Magdaler standing out in installed capacity with 465.77 MW.
Liabilities with power generators have reached HNL 17.385 billion and accumulated months of delays, affecting project bankability and financing costs. The sector warns that without concrete signals, the country is losing appeal to other markets.
The global solar tracker and mounting systems provider—backing over 40 GW across 70+ countries—steps up its local strategy as Argentina’s solar PV capacity surpasses 2.5 GW and continues to grow.
Esteban Kieper, consultant at the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), analysed Argentina’s energy transition. The country has reached nearly 19% renewable generation and is entering a phase where renewables begin to compete with natural gas, alongside new storage tenders and transmission projects.
As the country’s solar PV sector expands, storage begins to gain traction, with global manufacturer JA Solar targeting utility-scale and C&I opportunities after reaching 14% global market share and nearly 300 GW in shipments.
