Why are project finance transactions increasing in Chile?
Fitch Ratings-Sao Paulo/New York-01 April : Project finance transactions in Chile are expected to increase due to the recent commissioning of large battery energy storage systems (BESS), Fitch Ratings says. This should balance electricity supply and demand while reducing price volatility for renewable energy generators.
How much energy does Chile use a day?
McDonough highlights that Chile’s energy consumption between the day and night does not oscillate much and is stable at around 11-13GW, primarily due to the mining industry. “Mining represents roughly 60% of the total energy consumption [in Chile]. Out of roughly 12GW, nearly 7-8GW comes from mining, all of which need to be supplied 24/7.
