The collaboration aims to provide comprehensive services of technical feasibility analysis, economic and regulatory for projects focused on renewable sources, integrating battery storage systems.

The main target audience for this collaboration includes project developers, investors and equipment suppliers, who are looking to enable and innovate business models within the renewable energy sector.
Expectations in the Renewable Energy Sector in Brazil
Mariana Galhardo, partner at G2A, expressed her enthusiasm for the prospects of new projects in Brazil: 'Projects with BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) open up a wide range of possible applications and bring innovative solutions to SEB (Brazilian Electrical Sector). These systems are essential to mitigate issues such as curtailment and provide essential ancillary services for the stability of the electrical grid. They also allow the price arbitrage in hourly price shift scenarios, optimizing economic and operational efficiency.'
Impacts on Distributed and Centralized Generation
In Brazil, these projects are highly promising for both the optimization of distributed generation and centralized generation, offering support to renewable sources in capacity reserve auctions. integration of battery storage systems can provide greater flexibility to the SIN and reduce operating costs. Eduardo Tobias, managing partner at Watt Capital, emphasized: 'The economic feasibility analysis of projects is crucial and must be carried out diligently to consider all the particularities and possibilities of these projects, whose business model, regulation and financing sources are still maturing.'
Additional Challenges and Tax Reforms
He also mentioned the additional challenge of evaluating these projects in the context of the tax reform approved by Constitutional Amendment 132, in December 2023, which foresees the replacement of PIS/PASEP and COFINS by CBS starting in 2027. This new regulatory scenario requires an even more detailed and strategic analysis to ensure the economic viability of renewable energy projects, especially in a market that is constantly evolving.
