Technical FAQs 4

Why is solar energy important in Chile?

Chile is a global leader in renewable energy, with solar power and battery storage playing a crucial role in decarbonizing the grid. Integrating solar energy and storage technologies is crucial for addressing the intermittency and grid stability in Chile.

Where are Chile's battery energy storage facilities located?

Chile’s first battery energy storage projects were commissioned in 2009, and all but two of its 16 administrative regions have facilities in operation, under construction or in the planning stage. The greatest installed capacity is found in the northern regions of Antofagasta and Tarapacá, the country’s solar powerhouses.

How can solar energy and storage improve grid stability in Chile?

Integrating solar energy and storage technologies is crucial for addressing the intermittency and grid stability in Chile. Key projects include Cerro Dominador, solar and PV hybrid, Zelestra’s 220 MW solar and 1 GWh battery project, and AES Andes solar and battery storage hub.

How can technology help develop solar and storage projects in Chile?

Several technological innovation can help develop solar and storage projects in Chile. This includes AI, smart grids, and energy storage innovations. Chile generates over 60% of its electricity from renewable sources, with the Atacama Desert hosting some of the world’s most powerful solar farms.
