A new report forecasts that Chile will lead the region in energy storage capacity, followed by Mexico and the Dominican Republic – driven by supportive regulatory frameworks and the growing adoption of hybrid energy projects. From ESS News [pdf]
while the world debates climate change, South America's new energy storage projects are already storing sunshine in batteries the size of soccer fields. From Chile's Atacama Desert to Brazil's hydroelectric heartland, the continent is rewriting the rules of renewable energy. [pdf]
Solar power purchase agreement (PPA) prices in North America held steady in the first quarter of 2025, averaging $57.04/MWh, up 1% from the previous quarter, says LevelTen Energy. From pv magazine USA LevelTen Energy has released its latest quarterly report on PPA pricing in North America. [pdf]

Generally, pumped hydro storage is recognized as one of the most cost-effective methods for large-scale energy storage. Other affordable options include compressed air energy storage (CAES) and emerging technologies like iron-air batteries. [pdf]
Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196. [pdf]
