Chile： The Region‘s “Super Benchmark”
Chile has become the regional bellwether for solar-storage. To date, the country has 40 operational storage projects totaling 3,293MW, with 72 more under construction. Highlights include：
- Elena plant： Commissioned in June, 446MW/3.5GWh – the largest operational storage project in the Americas. The Chilean President attended the inauguration. The Oasis de Atacama platform plans 2.5GW solar + 14.1GWh storage.
- Central Oasis project： 1.1GW PV + 4GWh storage, $900 million investment. BYD Energy is supplying 2.6GWh of storage, with Gran Teno expected online in Q2 2026.
- ContourGlobal portfolio： Victor Jara (231MWp PV + 1.3GWh storage, Latin America‘s longest 6.5‑hour duration) and Quillagua (221MWp PV + 1.2GWh storage) – both fully operational.
- AES Andes： Andes Solar III (171MW PV + 3‑hour storage) is online, with over 2,000MW under construction.
- Sungrow： Deploying 195MW PV + 960MWh storage for BHP‘s Chilean copper mines.
Chile proves that solar-storage integration is a mature, replicable model.
Brazil： The Next Billion‑Dollar Market
On June 2, 2026, Brazil‘s ANEEL issued its first BESS regulation. The next day, MME announced two storage capacity auctions for December, with 15‑year contracts. Projects require ≥30MW, ≥4 hours duration, and ≥85% round‑trip efficiency.
ABSAE expects the auction to unlock ~R$8 billion in investment. If 5GW is fully contracted, investment could reach R$20 billion.
Brazil has ~46GW of distributed solar but very low storage penetration. Curtailments hit 20.8% in May 2026 – storage is the key to solving this bottleneck. Chile already has 40 operational storage projects, Brazil is just starting – this is the opportunity window for Chinese supply chain players.
