According to BMI, the average cost of BESS projects with planned completion dates between 2024 and 2028 is around $270 per kilowatt (kW), whilst pumped-hydropower costs $1,100/kW, and CAES $1,350/kW. The
Chile''s electricity market price has been on an overall increasing trend recently, reaching ***** Chilean pesos per kilowatt-hour in May 2024 (based on a four-month average ending in this month).
The Chilean renewable energy landscape and recent regulatory reforms promoting the development of energy storage systems have made Chile a ripe market for BESS investment opportunities.
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.
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.
Earlier this year, the Chilean Congress also began discussions to amend its energy transition bill to hold large-scale BESS auctions. The foregoing conditions and governmental actions have resulted in a potential BESS pipeline in Chile of over 6GWs. 1
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.
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
