2026: The Year of a Turning Point for the Energy Storage Market

The storage auction, the approval of Provisional Measure 1,304/2025, and extreme weather events that intensify blackouts across the country together, these factors create a highly favorable scenario for batteries in Brazil starting in 2026. However, it is important to highlight that the sector is already expected to close this year with a significant growth surge.

According to projections from consultancy CELA (Clean Energy Latin America), the battery storage market is set to triple in size in 2025 compared to the previous year, moving approximately R$ 2.2 billion.

Also according to the consultancy, batteries have become increasingly attractive, especially due to a roughly 40% price drop throughout 2024, with an additional reduction of around 15% expected in 2025. Given this landscape, the forecast is that the energy storage market in Brazil will grow 12.8% by 2040.

This optimistic outlook is reinforced by government initiatives such as Provisional Measure 1,304/2025, which expands the integration of batteries into the national power matrix. In addition, the Ministry of Mines and Energy has opened a public consultation for the country’s first battery auction, expected to take place in the first half of 2026. Moreover, increasingly frequent and intense extreme weather events have worsened power outages and blackouts across all Brazilian regions, heightening energy insecurity and driving demand for reliable solutions capable of minimizing the impacts of constant disruptions.

In other words, the pathway for Brazil’s battery market is shaping up to be highly promising in the coming years. But SolaX Power identified this potential early on, back in 2022, when the company resumed its Brazilian operations. Since then, we have worked assertively to train local solar integrators, empower distributor partners nationwide, and offer end-users the most advanced storage technologies available. As a result, the company which has recorded annual revenue growth of around 300% is projecting to multiply these figures fivefold in Brazil by 2026.

This is why, despite the obstacles and challenges the sector has faced, we believe that energy storage solutions represent a path of no return, combining two essential pillars not only for Brazilians but for the entire world: the pursuit of sustainable solutions and the assurance of energy security.
