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.

The US battery storage market is in a rapid growth phase and becoming increasingly competitive, creating an increasing need for sophisticated technologies and a deeper understanding of markets.

Last week (7 November) saw bids opened for a 75MW/300MWh BESS tender launched by the government of Honduras, in Central America.

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.

A lack of regulation and policy regarding BESS is challenging the growth of the technology in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Energy-Storage.news presents our sponsored webinar with Trina Storage, focused on the Latin America and Caribbean markets.

Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Celestia has deployed a solar co-located lithium iron phosphate (LFP) BESS in Colombia.

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.

A public consultation regarding the auction will be launched in the coming days, while capacity and funding details have yet to be disclosed.
