Does Chile have a renewable power market?
Based on information provided by Chile’s National Electric Coordinator, information on the renewable power market is provided below. During the last 12 months, the amount of energy from renewable sources, particularly solar and wind power, has continued to increase.
A notable example is the 1.2 GWh energy storage project co-developed by China’s Sungrow and Chile’s state-owned copper giant CODELCO. The system successfully reduced electricity price volatility at the mining site from 35% to 8%, enhancing power stability and cost efficiency.
