Three utility scale battery energy storage projects co-located with solar plants were announced last week in Chile. Enel is building a 67
Chile Energy Minister Diego Pardow was present at the inauguration of the 200 MW/800 MWh BESS del Desierto, a project its developers describe as the first large-scale
It will also play an important environmental role by supplying enough green energy for around 100,000 homes, thereby avoiding the emission of
In less than three years, Chile has come close to hitting this target, with 1 GW of solar battery storage in operation, 571 MW in the testing phase for grid interconnection, and
The Desert BESS Project, developed by Atlas Renewable Energy, stands as the first large-scale, stand-alone battery energy storage system in both
Developer Acciona Energia will add a gigawatt-hour-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) at an existing solar PV plant in Chile.
Chile plans to deploy five gigawatts of battery storage capacity by 2030, together with the commissioning of the 3 GW Kimal-Lo Aguirre high-voltage direct current transmission

Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. Chile had 91MW of capacity in
Described by its developers as Latin America''s first large-scale standalone energy storage facility, the project was developed by Atlas Renewable Energy and features
The Chilean solar market is booming but as curtailment grows, a hybrid approach to generation is gaining ground. Storage project announcements are coming thick and fast as
To address these issues, two major developments are planned — the large-scale deployment of battery storage and the construction of the 3 GW Kimal–Lo Aguirre
With transmission lines at overcapacity and permitting delays slowing the development of new grid infrastructure, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have surged
Three utility scale battery energy storage projects co-located with solar plants were announced last week in Chile. Enel is building a 67 MW/134 MWh battery, while CJR

Enel is building a 67 MW/134 MWh battery, while CJR Renewable and Uriel Renovables are planning 200 MW/800 MWh and 90 MW/200 MWh projects, respectively. From pv magazine EES News site three different developers announced separate large-scale battery energy storage (BESS) projects collocated with solar farms in Chile.

With transmission lines at overcapacity and permitting delays slowing the development of new grid infrastructure, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have surged as a profitable alternative for Chilean power producers.
In fact, batteries charged at nearly $0/MWh during the day in the sunny, northern desert regions of Chile, sell energy at night for over $100/MWh. Although projects such as Engie’s BESS Coya are already enjoying these large spreads, this capacity payment will partially de-risk Chile’s dependence on volatile, but still profitable, merchant revenues.
