Independent power producer (IPP) Innergex Renewable Energy’s 30MW/120MWh Hale Kuawehi battery energy storage system (BESS) project has reached commercial operations.

Greek renewables developer Metlen Energy & Metals has secured three battery energy storage system EPC contracts in Chile.

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.

Grenergy has raised financing for the fourth phase of a solar-plus-storage project in Chile set to feature 11GWh of battery storage capacity when completed.

Volume 41 of our downstream journal, PV Tech Power, is out now and available to Energy-Storage.news Premium subscribers.

IPP Innergex and system integrator Prevalon Energy have agreed to nearly double the capacity of BESS capacity at two sites in Chile with existing operational facilities.

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.

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.
