The initiative aims to deploy 500 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Greater Buenos Aires Area (GBA), but the submitted capacity has far exceeded expectations—reaching a combined 1,347 MW
Argentina’s ambitious push toward grid modernization through battery energy storage has received an enthusiastic response, with CAMMESA (Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico) confirming the submission of 27 project proposals from 15 companies under its AlmaGBA program.
This initiative, unprecedented in the South American country but already applied worldwide, seeks to add 500 MW of storage capacity in critical nodes of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA), with an estimated investment of $500mn and an execution period of 12-18 months.
In Argentina, the stance provides a good lesson to the European stakeholders, especially in the commercial and industrial segments of energy storage. Emerging markets can present both local and foreign players by developing tenders that are investment appropriate and clear technically and financially secured.
Argentina’s 1.3 GW battery storage tender marks a transformative leap toward grid resilience and clean energy leadership in Latin America.
This national and international open call, part of Resolution SE 67/2025, marks Argentina’s first large-scale effort to integrate new electricity storage infrastructure into urban distribution networks.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
