Its third project in northern Chile is currently under construction. The project will provide additional reliability to a 532MW thermal power plant.

“The electricity grid is poised for a major transformation and AES is proud to work with leading utilities and power systems to bring advanced storage to a new scale,” said John Zahurancik, president, AES Energy Storage. “Energy storage is lowering costs and improving critical grid infrastructure for customers around the world,” claimed Zahurancik.
