Technical FAQs 4

How many Bess projects are there in Chile?

This momentum is reflected in the data: AMI estimates that there is a 7.7 GW pipeline of BESS projects in Chile, far and away the most advanced front of the meter (FTM) storage market in Latin America. 1 Only 505 MW of BESS projects are currently operational in the entire region.

Does DNV support a Bess project in Chile?

In related standalone BESS news, assurance provider and energy expert company DNV has supported renewables developer Atlas Renewable Energy to secure US$289 million in financing for a standalone 800MWh BESS project in Chile.

What's happening in Chile's Bess market?

The current wave of excitement around Chile’s BESS market started in October 2022, when the Chilean government passed legislation that incentivised the deployment of energy storage. The bill allows standalone energy storage systems to receive income from dispatching their energy and power in the country’s National Electric System market.

Is Chile ready for a standalone energy storage project?

This project alone nears the capacity (13GWh) the Chilean Ministry of Energy sought in a public land bidding auction for standalone energy storage projects in May of 2024. Chile has been one of the countries at the forefront of the renewable energy transition in Latin America, first with solar PV and now with BESS.
