The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Sun Tribe and ENGIE will deploy a solar and battery storage portfolio at former coal mine sites in the Appalachians, US.

Grid constraints have prevented Chile from maximising the potential of its world-class solar resources. Energy storage has, therefore, become a necessity to ensure the financial viability of PV projects.

The US Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have released final rule for the Clean Electricity Investment and Production Tax Credits – also known as the technology-neutral credits.

Spanish independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has secured a 1.25GWh energy storage supply agreement with CATL for its Oasis de Atacama project in Chile.

The South American Andes regional arm of utility and IPP AES has started commercial operations on a project in Chile pairing 211MW of solar and a 130MW/650MWh BESS.

The German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has awarded 587MW of solar-plus-storage in its latest Innovation Tender.

A lack of regulation and policy regarding BESS is challenging the growth of the technology in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will play an important role in reducing curtailment issues Chile has been facing in 2024, keynote speakers said at the third edition of Solar Media’s Energy Storage Summit Latin America 2024 today.

CIP has reached final investment decision on a 220MW/1,100MWh battery energy system storage in Antofagasta, Chile.

This week Engie Chile has energised the 68MW/418MWh BESS Tamaya project in Antofagasta, while Canadian Solar’s e-STORAGE secured a turnkey EPC contract to supply a 98MW/312MWh DC BESS in Chile.
