Record investment in renewables, but growth pace slows to 7.3% according to IRENA.



Record investment in renewables, but growth pace slows to 7.3% according to IRENA.
A virtual event on 9 December will gather industry leaders to discuss technology integration, efficiency in hybrid renewable portfolios and long-term investment strategies through 2026. Executives from Black & Veatch, Yingli Solar, Solis, Negratin, HelloNext, SolaX Power, GameChange Solar, Risen Energy, GCL, Ventus and others will participate. Free registration available.
At the Future Energy Summit Southern Cone, energy lawyer Brendan Oviedo warned that despite recent regulatory advances, Peru’s renewable-energy pipeline cannot secure financing without firm power purchase agreements (PPAs). With over 20 GW of solar and wind in early studies, the country still lacks mature offtakers and long-term contracting habits.
The expansion strategy led by Guatemala’s National Electric Energy Commission aims to strengthen the transmission grid with a long-term vision, ensuring a modern, reliable system ready to meet rising demand and attract large-scale investments.
The Chinese company expects to double its delivered storage capacity across Chile and Argentina in just one year. During FES Chile, regional executive Vicente Walker noted that long-duration batteries, hybrid systems and grid-forming capabilities are reshaping the market amid curtailment challenges, limited incentives and regulatory differences across countries.
New decree strengthens governance, transparency and sustainability for the country’s largest power company amid growing electricity demand and the energy transition.
Chile’s National Energy Commission (CNE) formally ended the contracts of Canadian Solar Libertador Solar Holding SpA after the company failed to begin energy delivery. The agreements, awarded under the 2017/01 power-supply tender, were intended to serve eight regulated distribution utilities across the country.
The event will take place on 11 December in Santiago de Chile, featuring sessions on market trends, grid analysis and grid-forming technologies. Registration is now open for energy sector leaders across Latin America.
With more than €827 million in public investment, the EU-funded FEDER programme will support 133 storage projects totalling 10,000 MWh. Andalucía, Galicia and Castilla-La Mancha lead the allocation, while three companies capture more than 51% of total awarded capacity.
The company’s Legal Director for Colombia and Ecuador stressed the need for harmonized regional regulation, the expansion of remote self-generation schemes, and early mitigation of curtailment risks using artificial intelligence and energy storage.
New financing mechanisms are opening opportunities for initiatives with traceability, social impact and strong technical viability. Consultants warn that the challenge will be designing proposals that multiply impact.
The short-term auction received proposals from seven energy companies for 1,470 GWh/year of contracted supply for 2026, divided into two regional blocks and three hourly segments.
Two days after the presidential election, Honduras remains without a projected winner. The National Electoral Council (CNE) suspended the preliminary vote count at 57% of tallied precincts, with conservative candidate Nasry Asfura and centrist contender Salvador Nasralla separated by only 515 votes. The political uncertainty is already shaping expectations for the country’s economic and energy-policy trajectory.
With an investment roadmap reaching USD 900 million, Genneia is advancing new clean-energy infrastructure, expanding its portfolio with battery storage and strengthening its institutional positioning in the PV Book 2025 as a leading actor in Argentina’s renewable-energy ecosystem.
The rebranding formalizes a process launched in 2007, when regional energy ministers approved an amendment to the Lima Convention to explicitly recognize Caribbean member states in the organization’s official name.
With more than 185,000 home batteries in place and 81,000 households sharing stored energy, the CBES+ platform strengthens Puerto Rico’s grid and helps avoid nighttime outages. The initiative may soon reach another 80,000 homes, forming one of the world’s largest virtual power plants.
The amendment of Supreme Decrees 10, 37, 88 and 125 must be completed before 27 December, as announced at the Future Energy Summit (FES) Southern Cone, where public and private representatives agreed that their publication is essential to reactivate halted investments, enable urgent works and ensure remuneration for batteries.
On November 30, more than six million Hondurans will choose their next president in an election marked by mutual accusations, external involvement from the U.S. government, and a 1,500-MW renewable tender currently on hold. The energy sector is calling for urgent decisions.
At the Future Energy Colombia Summit 2025, the company’s CEO warned that rising demand requires thinking in terms of “energy addition” rather than just transition. He said only players with strategic grid connection points will come out ahead, urging execution and regulatory stability to avoid an investment slowdown.
The top executives of ENGIE, Enel, EDF, Acciona and Colbún warned at the Future Energy Summit that capital could shift toward markets such as Brazil, Uruguay or the United States, which offer greater stability, faster permitting and more predictable frameworks for renewable energy and energy-storage development.
Astrid Perdomo, Executive Director of AGER, cautioned that without an urgent process to expand the national transmission network, solar projects currently under development may be unable to connect to the system. The association stressed that the existing infrastructure is already operating at its limit.

After more than a decade of setbacks, large-scale solar and energy storage projects set to come online in 2026 could finally push Puerto Rico beyond 20% renewable generation. Meanwhile, over 10% of electricity customers already produce their own power, largely backed by batteries.
The Spanish power system has earmarked 386 grid connection nodes for competitive access tenders and Just Transition zones, blocking more than 165 GW for new generation and energy storage projects. Catalonia, Andalusia and Castile and León lead in reserved capacity, while 1.7 GW has been allocated to self-consumption.
Argentina’s largest province has approved its first regulatory framework for collective renewable energy projects, allowing multiple users to share self-consumption and monetise surplus power injected into the grid.
