Distributed energy resources in Chile can be classified into two categories. The first includes power plants with an installed capacity of up to 9 MW, connected to the electricity grid via distribution lines within the area served by the distribution company (PMGD, in Spanish) or via transmission lines (PMG, in Spanish).
Storage capacities are rapidly advancing in Chile. As of July 2024, there are 26 standalone energy storage system projects nationwide under environmental evaluation in the SEIA (Environmental System), equivalent to 2,103 MW of installed storage capacity, 10,639 MWh of stored energy, and an investment of US$2.8bn.
It is important to note that Chile's electricity system operates in a two-tier market: (1) the market among generators, or 'spot market', where energy is valued and sold at the marginal price at the specific node where transactions occur; and (2) the contract market, where generators can sell energy to end customers through PPAs.
Data from Chile's ISO of May 2024 highlights a significant rise in substation-level congestion, from none in 2020 to 56 substations in 2024. This congestion also affects other infrastructure, including transformers, many of which are experiencing an inversion of electrical flow due to the integration of PMGDs.
