Spanish renewables developer Zelestra has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with gas provider Abastible for a solar-plus-storage plant in Chile.
Located in the solar hotbed region of Atacama in northern Chile, the Domeyko project will have an 83MW solar PV capacity and 660MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity.
Chile has curtailed a record 5,909GWh of solar PV and wind power in 2024, up 121% from the previous year, according to trade body, the Chilean renewable energy and energy storage association (ACERA).
Located in the northern department of Atlantic, Enel started construction of two solar PV projects, the Guayepo III and Atlántico, with 200MW and 199.5MW of capacity, respectively.
