Chile Valparaiso Western Energy Storage Project

4 FAQs about Chile Valparaiso Western Energy Storage Project

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.

Do Chilean co-located storage assets need an environmental impact statement?

Since Chilean co-located storage assets don't require an Environmental Impact Statement (known locally as the DIA), development times for storage assets have been cut in half compared to solar or wind assets.

What is Polpaico Bess energy storage system?

The $225 million Polpaico BESS Energy Storage System, from Jinko Power Chile II, has a nominal power capacity of 300 MW and would have a scheduled start date of Nov. 23, 2026, in the Til Til commune of Chacabuco province, also in Metropolitan.

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.
