December 15, 2021 / By Felipe Bahamondez, Diego Peña and Roberta Andreani In the context of the transformation of the energy matrix and the promotion of the rational and efficient use of energy resources, the Government recently submitted to Congress a bill on the promotion of energy storage. The purpose of the bill are (1) to encourage the participation of []
One remarkable aim in the energy sector, which was included in Law No. 20,936 mentioned in section 1 above, is to define and incorporate electricity storage systems along with generation and transmission facilities, and to organize all the electricity system (including storage) under the CISEN. The Chilean regulatory framework does not
Chile is on track to become the largest energy storage market in the Americas. The position is currently held by the United States, which expects to deploy another 10 GW of energy storage by the
Chile has emerged as a leader in the energy transition, with some of the most ambitious decarbonization targets in the world. For example, Chile intends to shut down all its coal plants by 2040.
Felipe Massardo Rojas¹ On November 21, 2022, the Law that promotes the storage of electric energy and electromobility (Law No 21.505 of 2022)², and which introduces a series of modifications to the General Law of Electric Services, was published in the Official Gazette. The main objectives of the Law are to encourage the []
Spanish renewable energy developer Grenergy has begun construction of a 4.1GWh energy storage project in Chile''s Atacama Desert, which it claims will be the largest in the world. The project, called the Atacama Mega-Project, will be carried out in several phases and the total investment is expected to reach $1.4 billion.
"Today, Chile is a superpower in terms of the development of energy storage due to the exceptional conditions of the Atacama Desert in terms of hours of solar radiation and the particularity of the energy mix of this vast area, where the penetration of solar energy reaches 50%", said David Ruiz de Andrés, CEO of Grenergy.
The Chilean National Committee aims to promote sustainable energy development in Chile, as a part of the World Energy Council''s energy vision. As a member of the World Energy Council network, the organisation is committed to representing the Chilean perspective within national, regional and global energy debates. The committee includes a variety of members to ensure
Chile has been able to take transform its energy matrix in a very short period of time. The growth of renewables has also uncovered weak points that need to be addressed if the sector will continue to grow. Battery storage is an important first step to solving the high levels of dumping, congestion and zero marginal costs for Chilean producers.
The Chilean subsidiary of Italian energy company Enel, Enel Chile, has announced plans to install a large battery storage with a rated capacity of 67 MW/134 MWh at the El Manzano solar power plant. The project is located in the town of Tiltil in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, with a total installed capacity of 99 MW.
The Chilean Association of Renewable Energy and Storage (Acera) has released its latest monthly report, revealing impressive strides in the country''s renewable energy sector. According to the report, electrical energy generation from Non-Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE) sources soared to 38.2% in February 2024, marking a notable 7.9%
The BESS Coya project in Antofagasta is Engie''s largest BESS plant in Latin America. Image: Engie Chile. Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Engie has started commercial operations of a 139MW/638MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in the northern region of Antofagasta, Chile.
Fluence is the world''s #1 integrator of utility-scale battery storage supercharging the transition globally. Chile has also been a pioneer in new energy storage applications. The country is home to a first-of-its-kind virtual reservoir, which captures run-of-river hydropower using batteries instead of a dam. Our partnership allows us to
The Atacama desert region in Chile is a hotbed of solar and storage activity. Image: Elias Rovielo. Nine projects pairing solar or wind with energy storage submitted environmental impact assessments (EIAs) in Chile last month, totalling well over 2GWh of capacity, by companies including Engie, EDF and Sonnedix.
However, since Chile passed a major energy storage bill last October, the Chilean government seeks to add multi-gigawatt of large-scale storage for 2026-208 with an investment of up to US$2 billion. AES Andes is among several companies in the country with storage projects either operational or under construction since the bill was passed.
Catherine MacGregor, CEO of the Group, said that Chile aspires to become a key player in the global green energy industry in the coming years, and that Chile is a priority investment destination for Engie, and that the Group is determined to help Chile realise its goals by investing heavily in renewable energy power generation projects.
