Chile''s Pradera Larga hybrid project featuring 450 MWh battery
Italian developer''s most ambitious project outside Europe will be a 84 MWp (peak) solar plant coupled with a 90 MW / 5-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) in Chile''s
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.
Enel is building a 67 MW/134 MWh battery, while CJR Renewable and Uriel Renovables are planning 200 MW/800 MWh and 90 MW/200 MWh projects, respectively. From pv magazine EES News site three different developers announced separate large-scale battery energy storage (BESS) projects collocated with solar farms in Chile.
Three utility scale battery energy storage projects co-located with solar plants were announced last week in Chile. Enel is building a 67 MW/134 MWh battery, while CJR Renewable and Uriel Renovables are planning 200 MW/800 MWh and 90 MW/200 MWh projects, respectively. From pv magazine EES News site
In 2022, 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 2024. Chile has also put in place an auction procedure to award public land for the development of BESS projects.
