🔋 World''s Largest Battery Project!!! 🌍 Grenergy Renovables has secured $299 million in financing for phase 3 of the Oasis de Atacama project in northern Chile, the world''s largest energy storage
Currently, there is a growing pipeline of projects (+2000MW) that have battery storage components attached to them. There is also starting to be significant number of projects that are pure battery plays.
The difference is that energy storage projects have many more design and operational variables to incorporate, and the governing market rules that control these variables are still evolving.
The technological diversity of energy storage projects in Chile is remarkable. From battery storage systems to innovative projects with gases such as CO2, the country is exploring different solutions to meet changing energy demands.
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.
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.
Fitch Ratings-Sao Paulo/New York-01 April 2025: Project finance transactions in Chile are expected to increase due to the recent commissioning of large battery energy storage systems (BESS), Fitch Ratings says. This should balance electricity supply and demand while reducing price volatility for renewable energy generators.
Pursuant to Law 21,505, the Chilean Ministry of Energy has proposed to amend the regulations on capacity payments to allow for those payments to be applicable to energy storage systems.
In fact, batteries charged at nearly $0/MWh during the day in the sunny, northern desert regions of Chile, sell energy at night for over $100/MWh. Although projects such as Engie’s BESS Coya are already enjoying these large spreads, this capacity payment will partially de-risk Chile’s dependence on volatile, but still profitable, merchant revenues.
New utility-scale renewable and PMGE assets in Chile (most of which are distributed solar plants smaller than 9 MW) will likely all have storage components moving forward.
