📌

Can Chile become an energy exporter?

Chile has abundant renewable energy resources and has experienced fast growth in renewables over the last five years, but the question of whether Chile could become an energy exporter remains. The most suitable areas for wind projects are concentrated in the extreme south, while the best land for solar projects is in the north close to the desert.

📌

Will Chile be able to develop energy storage projects in ?

In , Chile passed an energy storage and electromobility bill, which made stand-alone storage projects profitable, but the market is still expecting new rules on capacity payment for storage projects, which are to be approved in . Chile has also put in place an auction procedure to award public land for the development of BESS projects.

📌

How many energy storage projects are in Chile?

According to a December publication on the InvestChile website, the country had 23 approved energy storage projects with a total of 3,000 MW of capacity. Chile is exploring a variety of solutions to keep abreast of the changing energy demand landscape ranging from BESS to innovative projects using CO2.

📌

Who owns Chile's electricity?

Chile’s electricity sector, including generation, transmission, and distribution, is privately owned and operated by both foreign and local companies. For example, AES Andes, a fully owned subsidiary of Arlington, VA-based AES Corp., is the second largest power producer.
