Is there a relationship between research and infrastructure development in Chile?
We note a positive relationship between the chronological evolution of research, infrastructure development, and policy development throughout Chile’s energy transition. There is an agreement between the locations of new infrastructure and suitable areas for renewable energy projects near populated centres.
Why is energy storage so important in Latin America?
As renewables scale up, the need to store energy is increasing. Chile is leading the way in Latin America and has more projects in the pipeline, but hurdles remain
Will Chile's storage capacity double in 2032?
The energy ministry spokesperson told Dialogue Earth that the country’s environmental assessment body is currently assessing the viability of 300 more storage projects, with a total capacity of 16 GW. According to some projections, between 2026 and 2032, Chile’s total storage capacity could double to 4 GW.
Where are Chile's battery energy storage facilities located?
Chile’s first battery energy storage projects were commissioned in 2009, and all but two of its 16 administrative regions have facilities in operation, under construction or in the planning stage. The greatest installed capacity is found in the northern regions of Antofagasta and Tarapacá, the country’s solar powerhouses.
Does Chile have a successful energy transition trajectory?
Today the power system of Chile is more than double the size it was in 2014, with a 63% share of renewables. This is observed as a successful energy transition trajectory with the potential to continue advancing. Energy research making use of scenario analysis has accompanied the process.
