Gabriela adds 272 MW of solar capacity and 1.1 GWh of energy storage to the Oasis de Atacama project, Grenergy said in a LinkedIn post. The site is located at more than 3,000 metres above sea level in
Grenergy energizes the fourth phase (Gabriela) of its massive Oasis de Atacama solar-plus-storage project in Chile, marking a key milestone for the 2GW/11GWh flagship development nearing completion.
Despite the high solar irradiance in a significant portion of Chile''s territory, neither residential nor commercial and industrial PV installations are expected to grow significantly, which will limit the potential for BTM storage.
The near-$300 million project will feature a 960 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and 340 MW of solar generation capacity and will feed into Chile''s National Electric System (SEN) via the Santa
The central and northern regions of Chile will be the engine of this growth, with plans for 3,000 MW and 6,000 MW of energy storage capacity, respectively. These regions are ideal for solar and wind
Despite the continued growth of curtailed solar PV and wind, the addition of operational energy storage to the grid in 2025 helped mitigate the issue, according to the trade body.
Solar power combined with battery energy storage is at the forefront of Chile''s recent generation growth.
