The energy sector in Latin America is undergoing numerous updates and regulatory changes to enhance sustainability and attract investment. The Dominican Republic is reviewing requirements for battery energy storage systems to make them more economically viable by potentially lowering the threshold for installations. Meanwhile, Brazil approved a bill to boost electromobility through the Mover program, offering incentives for low-emission vehicles. However, regulatory agencies in Brazil are facing a crisis that could impact energy sector regulation and project permitting. In Chile, the focus is on building a robust regulatory framework for energy storage systems to accelerate investment and ensure revenue certainty. Additionally, Chile and Ecuador have implemented safety rules and simplified administrative procedures to encourage private investment and ensure the safety of energy infrastructure. These regulatory changes and investments in energy innovation highlight a positive trend towards sustainable and efficient energy practices in the region.
