How much battery storage does Chile have?
Chile has an operational installed capacity of approximately 1GW in batteries, and another 3GW is under construction. Battery storage has been largely financed by bank lending in recent years, but we believe larger projects could increase the scope for bond financing.
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.
Can co-located batteries help solar plants capture better power prices?
Co-located batteries, like Engie S.A.’s BESS Coya, will help solar plants capture better power prices by charging the batteries during solar hours when power prices are very low and dispatching energy during peak hours when prices are close to USD 100/MWh.
Can a battery storage project be financed by a bond?
Battery storage has been largely financed by bank lending in recent years, but we believe larger projects could increase the scope for bond financing. Once large BESS projects are operational, investors gain more visibility into risks related to deployment (permitting, construction, and ramp-up) and operation of the assets.
What is Chile's capacity remuneration scheme?
Chile's capacity remuneration scheme, which aims to incentivize investment in energy storage and ensure system reliability by recognizing capacity payments, is robust, with payment risk considered systemic by Fitch.
