Atlas Renewable Energy has inaugurated a 200MW/800MWh BESS project in Chile, which it claimed is the ‘first large-scale standalone BESS’ in the country and the wider Latin American region.
A trio of major announcements in the grid-scale BESS market in Chile, with Canadian Solar winning a delivery contract from Colbun, Metlen Energy & Metals selling a solar-plus-storage portfolio to Glenfarne, and Atlas Renewable Energy securing financing for a project.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will lend the Georgia government US$104 million to support a transmission-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) project.
