Colombia''s first-ever battery storage tender

The ministry''s Energy Mining Planning Unit (UPME) launched the tender earlier this year, calling for proposals for deploying grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) technology to help alleviate system constraints and boost reliability of the grid in Barranquilla, in the Department of Atlantico area of northern Colombia. It will also

Exploring sustainable energy storage in Colombia

Pictured above: Dr. Esteban Garcίa-Tamayo (second from right) and colleagues at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana are using fique plants, pictured behind them, to create new sustainable energy storage. Coffee, Colombia''s most famous export, is stored and shipped in sturdy woven bags made from a local plant called fique (Furcraea

Energy Storage

AES is the world leader in lithium-ion-based energy storage, both through our business project and joint venture, Fluence. We pioneered the technology over one decade ago, and today almost half our new projects include a storage component. Energy storage is a "force multiplier" for carbon-free energy.

The role of energy storage and cross-border interconnections for

Thus, the aim of this paper is to analyse the techno-economic impact of large-scale electricity energy storage and interconnections in the integration of intermittent renewable energy by using the electricity system of Colombia as a case study.

Colombia: 290MW coal plant transitioning to solar & battery storage

A 290MW coal plant in Colombia will be entirely converted into a renewable energy site using a combination of solar PV and battery storage. The Termoguajira Power Plant in the northern region of La Guajira will be among the country''s first to transition towards 100% decarbonised energy, the announcement from the Ministry of Mines and Energy

Colombia: 290MW coal plant to be converted to solar and battery storage

It is currently mainly powered by coal with natural gas as a second support fuel for starting up the units, but it will be transitioned to a plant using solar panels and battery-based energy storage systems.

New Battery Technology Could Boost Renewable Energy Storage

In a new study published September 5 by Nature Communications, the team used K-Na/S batteries that combine inexpensive, readily-found elements -- potassium (K) and sodium (Na), together with sulfur (S) -- to create a low-cost, high-energy

Colombia to launch tender for up to 50 MW of battery storage

Colombia''s national mining and energy planning unit UPME has published a preliminary version of terms and conditions that will guide the call for tender for the design, construction, installation and operation of an energy storage system of up to 50 MW.
