How long does energy storage take in Chile?

According to a LinkedIn post by energy consultancy company Blend Energy, the average time of the 3GW portfolio of energy storage is 3.9 hours. On a more positive note, Chile has seen a significant increase in renewables investment with a 231% increase year-over-year.

Can energy storage help solve a curtailment problem in Chile?

Energy storage, which has become a necessity in Chile for a solar PV project to be financially viable, could help solve the issue of curtailment in the coming years. In 2024, there were 3GW of energy storage capacity operational, in testing or in construction, with 19GW in different stages of evaluation.

Does Chile have more solar PV capacity than generation added in 2024?

Year on year, Chile has seen more solar PV capacity curtailed (2.7TWh) than generation added (2.3TWh) in 2024.Image: ACERA. Chile has curtailed a record 5,909GWh of solar PV and wind power in 2024, up 121% from the previous year, according to trade body, the Chilean renewable energy and energy storage association (ACERA).
