Latin America is experiencing a boom in PV solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS), led by pipeline surges in Chile, Brazil, and Panama, plus innovation across Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. This panel will dig into how financial engineering—across bonds, blended finance, private placements, and risk management—has kept deals bankable despite macro volatility, policy shifts, and evolving energy auctions. Hear insights from sponsors, lenders, and advisers on structuring, challenges, and game-changing opportunities across the region.

  • How are international and local lenders adapting to long term appetite, credit market swings, and new normal for pricing these assets? 
  • Is the region poised to stay ahead? Have the auction mechanisms, market structure and transmission bottlenecks stymied growth in select countries?
  • Discuss lessons learned from major financings, how to leverage sponsor and lender experience, and what banks, funds, and developers want next
