3 FAQs about [Battery farms Chile]
How much does a battery cost in Chile?
In fact, batteries charged at nearly $0/MWh during the day in the sunny, northern desert regions of Chile, sell energy at night for over $100/MWh. Although projects such as Engie’s BESS Coya are already enjoying these large spreads, this capacity payment will partially de-risk Chile’s dependence on volatile, but still profitable, merchant revenues.
Are battery energy storage systems a viable alternative for Chilean power producers?
With transmission lines at overcapacity and permitting delays slowing the development of new grid infrastructure, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have surged as a profitable alternative for Chilean power producers.
How long does a battery last in Chile?
Moreover, the lack of an ancillary services market in Chile discourages shorter duration batteries (1-2 hours) as seen in the US and Europe. The general industry consensus is to maximize the availability of the battery and focus on 2-3 revenue streams instead of 4 to 5 (e.g., energy arbitrage, capacity payment, and frequency reserve).
