Technical FAQs 4

How many energy storage projects are in Chile?

Currently, 36 of the 129 large-scale projects Latin America projects with an energy storage component under development are in Chile, including 32 out of 71 of the region’s early works projects. The storage technologies either in use or being considered include:

How does a 220 MWdc solar facility benefit Chile?

Expanding solar energy capacity —the 220 MWdc solar facility contributes to Chile’s growing solar power sector. The project maximizes Chile’s natural solar resources. The 1 GWh battery storage system ensures a consistent energy supply to mitigate solar power intermittency.

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.

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.
