How much does electricity cost in Chile?
In its last auction, which was held in November , the Chilean government allocated 2.2 TWh of capacity. Enel Generación Chile submitted the lowest bid of $21.48/MWh. The final average electricity price was $32.50/MWh.
Is small-scale PV production economically feasible in Chile?
In this study a comprehensive analysis of small-scale PV production and economic feasibility was conducted, demonstrating a huge potential for residential PV growth and development in Chile.
Can policymakers accelerate residential PV development in Chile?
Furthermore, this study thoroughly compared Net Metering and Net Billing policy schemes, highlighting the potential for policy makers to accelerate residential PV development in Chile through thoughtful regulation.
Why is the PV industry growing in Chile?
Northern Chile has one of the highest irradiance levels in the world as well as one the highest electricity rates in Latin America. Because of these conditions, Chile is one of very few countries where several PV projects are being developed without government subsidies and consequently, the PV industry is experiencing rapid growth.
What is the optimal annual energy production for Calama and Puerto Montt?
The annual production is directly related to radiation levels, where Calama (in the north) shows the best production ( kWh/kW year) and Puerto Montt (in the south) has the lowest production ( kWh/kW year). Fig. 10 shows the optimal annual energy production for each location. Fig. 10.
Under current market conditions, residential solar is not economically viable in Chile. Through financial modeling, we analyzed potential paths toward viability through four different drivers that would reduce payback period and increase IRR.

In , the installation of photovoltaic (PV) panels of between 1 kWp and 5 kWp in Chile cost an average of US$2,326 per kWp; today, that same infrastructure costs around US$1,639 per kWp, a drop of 29.5%. The decrease varies depending on the scale of the project and, in the case of a project of
The current Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for a “PV + 4-hour storage” system has dropped to $0.32/kWh—58% lower than traditional diesel generation. However, due to grid transmission constraints, over 50% of solar generation in the north is being curtailed. Studies suggest that increasing the
