average solar plus storage price per 800MW in Chile

What is a solar-plus-storage project in the Atacama Region?

Utility Colbún has inaugurated a solar-plus-storage project with a 32MWh battery energy storage system in the Atacama region, the first of an 800MW deployment target. The Diego de Almagro project is a 330-hectare site comprising 470,000 solar panels totalling 230MW of power and a 8MW/32MWh BESS allowing for four hours of full power discharge.

What was the lowest price submitted in Chile's energy auction?

In Chile's previous energy auction, held in August , the CNE assigned 2.31TWh of renewable energy. The lowest price submitted was $0.01332/kWh

When will Chile start supplying electricity to the National System?

The Chilean energy regulator concluded an auction to supply electricity to the national system over a period of 15 years from .
