As frequent readers of Energy-storage.news might know, the majority of BESS projects built and in construction in Chile are paired with a solar PV project. Although a standalone project, the Arena BESS facility is still located in the northern region of Chile, where most of the solar PV capacity is located, due to its high irradiation levels.. Its proximity to solar resources
Most of the announced energy storage projects will help Chile balance its power supply in a system where more than half of the electricity generated comes from renewable energy sources (RES). According to the

AES has seen a hybrid wind, solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Chile receive an environmental permit, while Oenergy has suffered a setback for a standalone project. Updates for both projects were recently posted by the Environmental Assessment Service (Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental or SEA) of Chile, where the grid
Virtual Reservoir, the world''s first energy storage system starts operation, integrated with a run-of-river hydro power plant; Andes Solar II-A, the most efficient photovoltaic plant in the region, starts operation. Inauguration of Smart Center: remote operation of all plants in Chile and innovation center for digital solutions.
Chile was the first country to join AES in accelerating the global energy transition through energy storage. In fact, we installed the world''s first utility-scale energy storage system in the Atacama Desert back in 2009. The success of Chile''s adoption of energy storage solutions– by solving grid challenges, integrating renewables
EVs will also be able to participate in electricity markets as distributed energy resources (DERs). The majority of energy storage projects in Chile are being co-located with solar PV, which you can read more about here, but currently the country only has 64MW of utility-scale battery storage operational.
Despite the current low level of installed energy capacity and high cost per MW, the opportunities for battery storage are promising. The Chilean Ministry of Energy projects that batter costs to decrease by 20 percent. Three greater than 100 MW renewable energy projects are under development and will have a lithium-on battery storage component.

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.
While many projects are under development, lithium - ion battery storage is still limited. According to data from Acera, the Chilean Renewable Energy Association, there are only 64MW of battery storage capacity currently active, representing 0.2% of national capacity.
According to data from Acera, the Chilean Renewable Energy Association, there are only 64MW of battery storage capacity currently active, representing 0.2% of national capacity. AES Andes, a subsidiary of U.S. company AES Corp. operates all 64MW at their Angamos and Los Andes substations.
This momentum is reflected in the data: AMI estimates that there is a 7.7 GW pipeline of BESS projects in Chile, far and away the most advanced front of the meter (FTM) storage market in Latin America. 1 Only 505 MW of BESS projects are currently operational in the entire region.
