AES Gener has held a virtual groundbreaking of the projects, Andes Solar II-B and Campo Lindo in Chile.
The projects will incorporate four technologies, which will allow the incorporation of 253 MW of renewable energy and 112 MW of batteries into the national electricity system.
Andes Solar II B is be located in the Antofagasta Region and will have a capacity of 180 MW and will be the largest lithium battery storage system (BESS) in Latin America. The remaining 170 MW will be bifacial panels, used at the Andes II A expansion.
The 112 MW BESS uses Fluence’s 6th generation solution, allowing energy to be stored for 5 hours in order to inject the energy generated by the sun’s rays well after sunset.
The 73 MW Campo Lindo wind farm is located near Los Ángeles, in the Biobío Region. The project is the first of several wind farms forming a 480 MW cluster.
