IPP Innergex and system integrator Prevalon Energy have agreed to nearly double the capacity of BESS capacity at two sites in Chile with existing operational facilities. Spanish independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has secured a 1.25GWh energy storage supply agreement with CATL for its Oasis de Atacama project in Chile.
Pursuant to Law 21,505, the Chilean Ministry of Energy has proposed to amend the regulations on capacity payments to allow for those payments to be applicable to energy storage systems.
Battery storage projects cannot come soon enough for Chile. While Chile has been at the forefront of renewable energy generation growth in Latin America for close to a decade, that growth has most recently undergone serious growing pains.
With transmission lines at overcapacity and permitting delays slowing the development of new grid infrastructure, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have surged as a profitable alternative for Chilean power producers.
In fact, batteries charged at nearly $0/MWh during the day in the sunny, northern desert regions of Chile, sell energy at night for over $100/MWh. Although projects such as Engie’s BESS Coya are already enjoying these large spreads, this capacity payment will partially de-risk Chile’s dependence on volatile, but still profitable, merchant revenues.
The Chilean renewable energy landscape and recent regulatory reforms promoting the development of energy storage systems have made Chile a ripe market for BESS investment opportunities.
Moreover, the lack of an ancillary services market in Chile discourages shorter duration batteries (1-2 hours) as seen in the US and Europe. The general industry consensus is to maximize the availability of the battery and focus on 2-3 revenue streams instead of 4 to 5 (e.g., energy arbitrage, capacity payment, and frequency reserve).

Sungrow will supply its liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS) solution, the PowerTitan, for the 72.8MW Maria Elena Solar Park in Antofagasta, Chile. The BESS will provide renewable load shifting services, moving the solar PV generation from the day when it is abundant in Chile to the evening when it begins to tail off.
Residential energy storage systems enable homeowners to store and manage electricity from renewable sources such as solar panels, reducing reliance on the grid and optimizing energy consumption. In Chile, the residential energy storage market is growing, driven by renewable energy adoption, electricity tariff structures, and incentives for ...

BESS can store surplus energy produced by renewable sources during periods of high generation and release it at peak demand, during low production, or whenever there is available grid capacity. Thus, BESS ensures reliable power supply and eases the integration of renewable generation facilities into the market.
Chile Total Energy Consumption. Energy consumption per capita is around 2 toe. The country''s electricity consumption per capita is around 4 MWh (3rd in South America). Total energy consumption decreased by 5% in 2023 to 40 Mtoe, after increasing by 7% in 2021 and 3% in 2022. Most of this decrease in 2023 is linked to the growing share of ...
As part of its decarbonisation Chile is seeking multiple gigawatts of energy storage to be deployed by 2030, and passed a bill late last year to allow standalone projects to be remunerated in the country''s capacity market.. Most projects are nonetheless being paired with generation with huge opportunities to balance out peaks and troughs in generation available.
AES Andes has received environmental review approval for a 560MW project in Chile converting an existing coal plant to renewable energy and energy storage, using a molten salt-based technology. An approval of the project''s environmental impact assessment (EIA) was given on Monday (27 November) by the Environmental Evaluation Service of the Antofagasta …
By 2030, Chile is seeking to supply 70% of its total energy consumption with renewable energy sources, and aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Though its nightly solar shortfalls are currently plugged by fossil fuel generation, the country has pledged to close its remaining coal-fired power plants by 2040.
