Guatemala is opening its energy market at scale, creating long-term opportunities for U.S. exporters in clean energy, infrastructure, and grid modernization.
Below is a representative visualization of how this transformation could potentially take place across the State using information from an Initial Scenario in the Zero Emissions Electric Grid in NY by 2040
GENI is the highest priority objective of the World Game (R. Buckminster Fuller).
Despite the PET-3-2025 transmission tender being declared void, Guatemala continues to expand its electricity transmission infrastructure.
This new phase includes the construction of 440 kilometers of transmission lines and 14 new electrical substations, aiming to strengthen the national grid, improve regional connectivity, and
As of 2020, Guatemala had 4110 MW of installed electrical capacity, based primarily on hydro power (38.38%), fossil fuels (30.36%), and biomass (25.20%). Other renewable sources represented a
The oil-based energy grid has transformed into a more diversified grid where 65 percent of the grid is currently based on renewables, including biomass and hydropower.
• Guatemala is connected to the Regional Electricity Market (MER) via the Electrical Interconnection System of Central American Countries (SIEPAC) and is the largest exporter to the MER. • Large
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for remote base stations, off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with European and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Europe.
