6 FAQs about [Chile gridscale energy storage]
Are battery energy storage systems a viable alternative for Chilean power producers?
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.
Will BYD be able to power Chile's Atacama Desert?
BYD has signed an agreement with Spain’s Grenergy to provide renewable energy power facilities using its blade-shaped batteries for a $1.4 billion energy storage operation in Chile’s Atacama Desert, which the companies claim to be the largest of its kind globally.
Which energy storage project is the largest in the world?
The project, which was revealed by Grenergy in November 2023, will pair 1GW of solar PV with 4.1GWh of energy storage, which the company said makes it the largest energy storage projects in the world.
When will grenergy install solar panels in Chile?
Grenergy will incorporate them in the first two phases of the Oasis de Atacama project in northern Chile, set for full operation within two years, and with a total capacity of 4.1 GWh and 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar installations.
Does Chile have lithium reserves?
Chile also has huge lithium reserves which the state recently moved to gain control over. BYD will supply batteries for a project from Grenergy in Chile which has been claimed as the largest energy storage project in the world.
How much does a battery cost in Chile?
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.
