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.
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
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.

Another recent Chilean regulatory reform to facilitate BESS investment opportunities was the approval of auctions to award public lands for the development of BESS projects. Earlier this year, the Chilean Congress also began discussions to amend its energy transition bill to hold large-scale BESS auctions.
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.
