Technical FAQs 4

Where can solar-wind hybrid energy be used?

In 2016, a global techno-economic assessment of fuel production using solar-wind hybrid energy highlighted the north of Chile and Patagonia (in the south of Chile) as locations with remarkable renewable energy characteristics .

How much solar energy does Chile produce?

Optimal use of finite resources Solar energy represents 26% of the total electricity capacity of Chile, accounting for 9.0 GW (2023). In 2023, 20% of Chile’s electricity generation was solar-based . In the case of the UK, 3.1 GW was produced in 2023 by solar power representing a 4.9% contribution to the UK national grid.

Does Chile have a national power system?

By 2013, several experimental wind and solar energy projects had been deployed in Chile. Since then, several studies have addressed the national power system through scenario analysis , , .

Should solar power be developed in the north of Chile?

The development of solar power in the north of Chile will allow the electrification of most of the national demand. The possibility of ammonia and e-fuels projects in the south should be analysed to explore the potential economic and environmental synergy in transporting raw materials and products.
