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.
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.
Why does Chile need more energy storage?
Chile is currently a hotbed of grid-scale energy storage activity, with huge levels of solar curtailment, massive energy price volatility and regulatory reforms helping to drive the need for more storage. See all recent coverage of the country here.
Where are Chile's battery energy storage facilities located?
Chile’s first battery energy storage projects were commissioned in , 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.
