Why Medellin's Energy Storage Tender Matters
Medellin, Colombia's second-largest city, has launched a landmark tender for a new energy storage system to address growing energy demand and climate goals. With solar capacity projected to grow by 18% annually in Antioquia province, scalable storage solutions are critical to balancing supply gaps and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Key Drivers Behind the Project
- Renewable Integration: Solar and wind now contribute 12% of Medellin's energy mix, requiring stabilization.
- Grid Resilience: Frequent weather disruptions demand backup systems for hospitals and industries.
- Cost Savings: Storage can reduce peak-time energy costs by up to 30%, per Colombia's Energy Plan 2050.
Technologies Shaping Medellin's Storage Future
The tender emphasizes lithium-ion batteries and flow batteries, but hybrid systems combining solar+storage are gaining traction. For example, EK SOLAR's recent project in Cali used modular battery packs to cut energy waste by 22%.
