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.
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.
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.
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.
