Chile Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Expansion
Sector: Energy Storage • Location: Chile
Source: IndexBox
This project involves the expansion of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation capacity and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Chile's National Electric System (SEN). As of March 2026, operational solar capacity reached 11,999 MW with an additional 10,203 MW of renewable capacity under development, mostly solar and storage. The project includes 2,753 MW of solar PV and 6,358 MW of BESS under cons
