In 2022, Colbún SA, the Chile-based investor, submitted an environmental assessment for a 422 MW solar PV plus storage project it plans to build in Chile. The plans include a five-hour, 240 MW battery system, which would be among the largest energy storage installations in the country.
TerraForm Power, Inc, SunEdison, Inc, Etrion Corporation, Mainstream Renewable Power and Sonnedix are the major companies operating in the Chile Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market. What years does this Chile Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market cover?
Currently, 36 of the 129 large-scale projects Latin America projects with an energy storage component under development are in Chile, including 32 out of 71 of the region’s early works projects. The storage technologies either in use or being considered include:
The increasing solar energy demand will likely boost the solar energy capacity across the country over the forecast period. The Chile solar energy market is fragmented. Some key players in this market (in no particular order) include Acciona, S.A, JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., Trina Solar Limited, Enel Green Power S.p.A, and First Solar, Inc.
Due to increasing blackouts in the country leading to the electricity crisis and increasing demand for continuous power, solar PV installation is expected to create a significant amount of opportunities for the market players in Chile to full-in the supply and demand gap.
Furthermore, private investments are also steering the market in the country. For example, in 2023, Enel Green Power Chile, a subsidiary of Enel Chile, commenced construction of its new El Manzano solar power park in Tiltil, which will be the company's first large-scale photovoltaic solar power plant in the Metropolitan Region.
