Latin America''s largest solar power plant with battery storage
Both located in the heart of the Atacama Desert, the two facilities together will reach a total capacity of 452 MWp and a storage capacity of 2.5 GWh, ensuring an annual
As of 2023, there is only one tower concentrated solar power (CSP) facility in operation in the South American region, located in the Atacama Desert region in Chile, with a total installed capacity of 110 MW and a time of stored energy in the form of heat equivalent to 17.5 h.
In that sense, it is possible to implement large solar PV facilities in the region. Figure 29 shows a mapping of the future installed capacity for each of the nations in the Latin American region. Figure 29. Mapping of future facilities considering installed capacity in Latin America.
Comparative evolution between solar PV energy, wind energy, and hydroelectrc energy implementation in South America. creasing is instaed capacity om 143,543 MW n 2013 to 179,685 MW n 2023. This is of instaled capacity by 2023. In the case of onshore wind energy, s instaed capacity has
In this way, the implementation of facilities for the generation of electrical energy through clean energy sources has been developed, with solar energy being one of the most attractive alternatives in the region. Table 9 shows a ranking of the countries in South America according to the criterion of installed capacity (MW).
