Spanish renewable energy developer MASPV secured a contract to build a 130-MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) plant paired with a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Guatemala through a competitive tender process. The hybrid project will integrate solar generation with battery storage to enhance grid stability and renewable energy dispatchability in Guatemala's power system. MASPV, which has expanded its Latin American footprint with projects in Chile and Peru, will oversee engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities for the facility. The tender, issued by Guatemala's energy regulatory authority, required bidders to propose hybrid renewable solutions with storage capabilities to meet growing electricity demand. Financial close and construction are expected to commence within 12 months of contract award, with commercial operations targeted for 2028.
