4 FAQs about Chile s independent energy storage power station grid connection price

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.

How can solar energy and storage improve grid stability in Chile?

Integrating solar energy and storage technologies is crucial for addressing the intermittency and grid stability in Chile. Key projects include Cerro Dominador, solar and PV hybrid, Zelestra’s 220 MW solar and 1 GWh battery project, and AES Andes solar and battery storage hub.

How many energy storage projects are in Chile?

Currently, 36 of the 129 large-scale projects Latin America projects with an energy storage component under development are in Chile, including 32 out of 71 of the region’s early works projects. The storage technologies either in use or being considered include:

Is Chile ready for a battery storage project?

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.
