6 FAQs about [Chile Photovoltaic Energy Storage Base]

Is Chile ready for a standalone energy storage project?

This project alone nears the capacity (13GWh) the Chilean Ministry of Energy sought in a public land bidding auction for standalone energy storage projects in May of 2024. Chile has been one of the countries at the forefront of the renewable energy transition in Latin America, first with solar PV and now with BESS.

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.

What is CVE Chile's battery storage technology?

CVE Chile has launched into battery storage technology. This development aims to optimize the use of photovoltaic production by shifting the electricity generated during the day to peak periods in the evening. This strategy is a response to our customers’ fluctuating energy needs.

Why is energy storage important in Chile?

Image: Grenergy Grid constraints have prevented Chile from maximising the potential of its world-class solar resources. Energy storage has, therefore, become a necessity to ensure the financial viability of PV projects, writes Jonathan Tourino Jacobo.

What is CVE's vision for solar energy in Chile?

In 2023, the deployment of photovoltaic parks reached 8.5 GW. The country is committed to increasing installed solar capacity to 22 GW by 2029. CVE’s strategy is based on the production of decentralized renewable energies sold through short distribution channels. Chile is a key market for realizing this vision.

How much energy storage will Chile have in 2024?

During the Energy Storage Summit Latin America (ESS LatAm) in October 2024, Ana Lía Rojas, executive director at the Chilean renewable energy and energy storage association (ACERA), explained how the current levels of curtailment in Chile, which could end up at approximately 5TWh in 2024, could power up to 3.4GW of 4-hour duration energy storage.
