Power firm Engie and IPP Grenergy are advancing three solar-plus-BESS projects in Chile.

Enel Green Power, part of the Italy-based power group Enel, has launched construction on another large-scale BESS in Chile. 

A new report from climate consultancy Ember highlights the important relationship between energy storage and solar, unlocking the “era of anytime solar.”

Italian clean energy developer Limes Renewable Energy has reached the ready-to-build stage at its 200MW/1GWh Huañil project.

Independent power producer (IPP) Verano Energy has awarded the battery energy storage system (BESS) supply for its 152MW/606MWh Observatorio project to Sungrow.

Independent power producer (IPP) ContourGlobal has begun construction of its fourth large-scale solar PV and battery storage hybrid project in Chile.

Some 9.1GW/33.5GWh of large-scale BESS came online globally last month, with Saudi Arabia accounting for over one-third of the figure.

Independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has signed a 1TWh night-time power purchase agreement (PPA) for its 3.5GWh Elena BESS project in Chile.

Around 4.9GW/14.6GWh of large-scale BESS came online in May, with a much more balanced regional breakdown than usual.

The president of Chile, José Antonio Kast Rist, was in attendance as IPP Grenergy inaugurated a 3.5GWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
