Brazil’s Decennial Energy Expansion Plan 2035 outlines investment scenarios to reinforce the national power grid amid rapid growth in renewables and large new electricity loads.



Brazil’s Decennial Energy Expansion Plan 2035 outlines investment scenarios to reinforce the national power grid amid rapid growth in renewables and large new electricity loads.
The Mexican Wind Energy Association (AMDEE) estimates that permits already awarded could drive a 16% increase in installed capacity before 2030. The industry is preparing for new project rounds, but warns that without sufficient transmission infrastructure and stable rules, momentum could stall.
The energy regulator has launched a public consultation to overhaul the Electricity Metering Code, redefining technical standards for measuring injected and consumed power as distributed generation gains scale.
Jaime Toledo warned that Chile’s 40-year-old electricity pricing framework is misaligned with today’s renewable-heavy power system and could slow down investments in energy storage, transmission and clean generation.
With the publication of its Operating Guidelines, the Mexican government formalises a permanent body to coordinate strategic energy planning. The Council will oversee the National Energy Transition Strategy under a binding planning framework with institutional monitoring.
The call is aimed at emerging technologies such as agrivoltaics, floating solar PV, collective self-consumption and renewable integration in infrastructure projects. It requires the integration of battery storage or hydraulic systems, the use of European-manufactured equipment, and projects that can be implemented before 2030.
Among the awardees, subsidiaries of global energy heavyweights such as Iberdrola, Dhamma Energy, Sunstone Power, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Elecnor stand out. These companies will concentrate investments in solar photovoltaic (PV), onshore wind power and energy storage, with a presence across more than seven Mexican states. At the end of the article, a table provides details of each project, including capacity, location and expected commercial operation date.
As renewable projects grow in scale and complexity across the Southern Cone, logistics is becoming a decisive factor. Through Mercomar, Robinson Group is integrating engineering, regulatory compliance, and end-to-end visibility to reduce risks and accelerate the execution of solar and wind developments.
PromPerú is coordinating efforts with the national government to attract foreign investment in solar power generation in southern and northern regions, wind energy in strategic areas, and geothermal and biomass projects in the Amazon. The country is projecting economic growth of up to 4.5% in the medium term, supported by regulatory reforms and incentives for key sectors.
The Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE) warns that more than 4,500 MW of onshore wind capacity must be installed each year until 2030 to reach the target of 59 GW. In 2024, only 1,186 MW were added. The sector is calling for regulatory certainty, fewer administrative barriers and a more balanced tax framework to accelerate deployment.
The drop in captured prices to below €5/MWh is reinforcing buyer caution. “Clients are unwilling to sign contracts at €35 or €40 per MWh; they are looking at around €25 to €32/MWh at most,” warns Álvaro de Simón, advisor at ASB Renewables Consulting.
Solar and wind power barely set spot prices in Guatemala over the past year, yet their influence on dispatch is growing rapidly. As battery energy storage advances, renewables are poised to fundamentally change how electricity prices are formed.
Twenty projects were awarded, totalling 2,471 MW of solar capacity and 849 MW of wind power, with commercial operation expected between 2027 and 2029 and total investment exceeding USD 4.752 billion.
With the new 300 kW connected-capacity threshold coming into force, between 3,000 and 3,500 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are expected to gain access to more competitive electricity supply contracts. The measure will begin to take effect in January, with prices shaped by volume, contract duration and customer location.
Construction works are adding solar PV generation to an existing wind complex, with key logistical and technical milestones under way, expanded electrical infrastructure and a growth outlook aimed at strengthening La Rioja’s renewable supply and injecting new clean capacity into Argentina’s national grid.
Siemens Chile CEO Christian Candela says 2035 forecasts will strain electricity networks, making urgent deployment of digital grid technologies—AI, predictive control and decentralized management—key to maintaining reliability.
Madrid will host the flagship energy event on February 12, 2026, with energy storage at the core of the Iberian renewable transition
Latin America currently has just 3 GW of energy storage capacity versus 567 GW of power generation. According to OLACDE, the region will need USD 24 billion in investment by 2030 to ensure system flexibility and security, with Chile accounting for 70% of installed capacity.
The French cable manufacturer conducted on-site assessments at solar parks in Colombia, Chile and Peru, leading to the development of tools and solutions aimed at improving cable installation, cutting hidden costs and applying circular economy principles. The findings were revealed in an exclusive interview with Energía Estratégica.
The Honduran power system remains on hold as electoral uncertainty drags on. Renewable energy stakeholders warn that the political paralysis is already affecting investment flows, payment obligations and strategic tenders.
In an interview, Juan Pedro Aramburu, Zelestra’s Country Manager, called on the government to provide clear signals to move forward with the development of renewable energy. The company has three solar projects ready to begin in 2026, is exploring the possibility of hybridising them with energy storage, and is assessing its entry into the wind power sector in Peru.
