Canadian Solar Chile to Deliver 912 MWh Energy Storage by 2026

Canadian Solar Chile’s Landmark Solar Project: A New Era in Renewable Energy

Canadian Solar has announced a groundbreaking solar energy initiative in Chile, featuring a substantial energy storage component. In partnership with Travesía Solar, a Chilean solar developer, Canadian Solar will supply an impressive 912 MWh energy storage system, seamlessly integrated with the 600 MWp Santa Isabel solar power project.

Powering 300,000 Households with Canadian Solar Chile

The 600 MWp Santa Isabel solar project is poised to generate approximately 1.6 TWh of clean solar electricity annually, sufficient to power about 300,000 households. The project’s energy storage component, with a capacity of 228 MW/912 MWh, will store surplus solar energy and release it when needed. This capability is crucial for stabilizing the grid and ensuring a consistent power supply. Moreover, it allows the solar power plant to actively participate in the energy market by providing stored energy during peak demand, enhancing the project’s overall efficiency and profitability.

Canadian Solar Chile Leads with the Country’s Largest Solar Power Project

Set to become Chile’s largest solar power facility, this Canadian Solar project is pioneering in integrating energy storage. Located in the Antofagasta region, a key area for renewable energy development in Chile, construction is scheduled to commence in 2025, with commercial operations anticipated to start in 2026. The energy storage system, with its 228 MW/912 MWh capacity, will ensure grid stability and a reliable power supply, while also enabling the plant to offer stored energy during peak times, boosting efficiency and profitability.
