Trina Storage has shipped the first 1.2GWh batch of its self-developed Elementa 2 BESS to Chile, marking its largest overseas standalone energy storage project to date and ushering in a new era of GWh-scale international deployments.
Located in Chile’s northern Atacama Desert, one of the world’s driest and most challenging regions, the project demanded exceptional engineering resilience. Specifically engineered for such demanding conditions, the Elementa 2 Desert Solution ensures stable operation, not only significantly lowering equipment failure rates and O&M costs, but also empowering the system to rapidly respond to grid fluctuations and precisely balance power supply and demand.
Álvaro García-Maltrás, Trina President for the Latin America and Caribbean region, commented: “This successful deployment of a GWh-scale project showcases Trina Storage’s full lifecycle solution capabilities. We combine world-class engineering with local market knowledge to guarantee successful deployment and long-term operational excellence.”
