Colombia''s energy regulator Creg has drafted proposals for a rollout of smart metering across the national electricity system. The proposals, which are currently under consultation, aim to achieve 75% coverage corresponding to about 11.8 million out of the 15.7 million customers connected to the National Interconnected System (SIN) by 2030.
Unlocking flexibility within Colombia''s energy system with smart grid technologies. At the Carbon Trust, we are strong advocates for demand-side flexibility, which reduces the need for expensive grid infrastructure. $730 million per year could be saved by 2040, in a 100% emissions reduction scenario, if Colombia adopts a smart grid system.
Traditional energy grid designs marginalize the value of information and energy storage, but a truly dynamic power grid requires both. The authors support defining energy storage as a distinct asset class within the electric grid system, supported with effective regulatory and financial policies for development and deployment within a storage-based smart grid
Today sees Energy-Storage.news'' publisher Solar Media kick off the 3rd annual Energy Storage Summit Latin America in Santiago, Chile, 15-16 October 2024. This year''s events bring together Latin America''s leading investors, policymakers, developers, utilities, network operators, EPCs and more all in one place to discuss the landscape of
DTE Energy in Michigan got awarded US$22.7 million to create a network of "adaptive" microgrids that would include 12MWh of battery storage and 500kW of solar generation. DTE''s microgrids could reduce outages for customers within those areas by 50% to 80% and reduce the runtime of diesel generators by 294 hours, or 5% per year.

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
Unlike fossil-fueled power plants that produce electricity on demand, renewables such as wind, solar, and water require storage solutions on an unprecedented scale because sun and wind are intermittent energy sources. As more people move to urban centers, energy requirements for transportation and buildings are also expected to grow.
