| Work Detail |
The project involves an investment of 990 million dollars and, if successful, will be located in the Tarapacá region and will provide storage for 5 hours.
The American company AES has submitted the Parque Fotovoltaico Solar Oriente project for environmental assessment in Chile. It consists of the construction, operation and closure of a solar power generation plant consisting of a photovoltaic park with a peak power capacity of 581.46 MW. It will also include a battery storage system (BESS) of up to 809.22 MW, energy that can be injected into the system for a maximum of 5 hours. The energy generated will be injected into the SEN through the construction of two parallel transmission lines, each approximately 3 kilometers long.
The project involves an investment of 990 million dollars and, if successful, will be located in the Tarapacá region.
The electrical energy generated in the photovoltaic park and stored in the BESS system will be transported at medium voltage through underground pipelines installed parallel and perpendicular to the parks internal roads to the SE Solar Oriente, from where it will be evacuated through the Projects High Voltage Line to the 2×220 kV Lagunas – Puquios Sectioning.
AES Andes recently obtained environmental approval for the Pampas wind-solar plus storage project in the Antofagasta region, which proposes a wind farm with an installed capacity of 140 MW and a 252 MW photovoltaic park, and a battery-based energy storage system with a capacity of 624 MW with a duration of up to 5 hours.
In Antofagasta (Chile), it is also promoting the Altos del Sol project, which is currently under evaluation and includes a 763.6 MW photovoltaic park with a 1,063.4 MW BESS.
This same year, AES obtained environmental approval for the Cristales project, with 340 MW of photovoltaic energy and storage of 542 MW for 5 hours , also in Antofagasta. |
