Solar microgrids with 110 MWp and 120 MWh of BESS across 24 locations in Amazonas state in Brazil coming to replace diesel consumption of 37 million liters/year. Batteries supplied by Huawei will guarantee the energy supply in 24 locations in the Amazon through hybrid microgrids that combine photovoltaic solar generation and storage. 5 million), with initial operations anticipated in 2027–28. By Leticia Fucuchima SAO PAULO, March 2. The new battery storage systems are designed to help Brazil modernise its isolated grids, integrate more renewables, and reduce its reliance on diesel – Photo courtesy of Huawei Brasil Chinese telecommunications company Huawei is set to implement four Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects. Huawei Digital Power and Aggreko have won Brazil's largest battery storage contract, deploying 110 MWp of solar and 120 MWh of BESS across 24 sites in Amazonas. The hybrid project will replace 37 million liters of diesel annually, cut 104,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, and provide renewable electricity. The agreement aims to promote battery energy storage systems (BESS) for the commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors in Brazil, and both companies are optimistic following the recent regulatory advances in the Brazilian electricity sector.
