Zelestra-Sungrow Deal Anchors Chile''s Push for Hybrid Storage
Latin America''s ambitions for large-scale energy storage are moving from concept to construction with Zelestra''s Aurora project, a 1 GWh hybrid solar-plus-storage plant now
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
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.
Zelestra will develop a 220 MWp of solar Photovoltaic and 1 GWh of energy storage capacity in Chile. Solar and storage projects are crucial in Chile's decarbonization goals for enhanced security, grid stability, and efficient distribution. Several technological innovation can help develop solar and storage projects in Chile.
Several technological innovation can help develop solar and storage projects in Chile. This includes AI, smart grids, and energy storage innovations. Chile generates over 60% of its electricity from renewable sources, with the Atacama Desert hosting some of the world's most powerful solar farms.
