Engie starts commercial operation at 25 MW / 150 MWh battery system in Chile

Renewables Now reports that Engie Energia Chile invested about USD 50 million in the standalone BESS. At 150 MWh for 25 MW of power capacity, the project is designed for multi-hour flexibility rather than short-duration balancing alone. For Chile's renewables market, more storage is essential as solar generation grows faster than the grid can absorb at all hours.
