Chile, one of the first countries in Latin America to commit to carbon neutrality by 2050, has set itself on a course of decarbonisation and energy efficiency through various strategies such as retirement of coal-based power plants, electric mobility, and increasing penetration of renewable energy technologies.
We find that the market integration in Chile increased solar generation by around 180%, saved generation costs by 8%, and reduced carbon emissions by 5%. A substantial amount of renewable entry would not have occurred in the absence of
Chile''s approach integrates a comprehensive institutional framework aiming at the complete elimination of emissions from electrical energy sources by 2050. This goal requires important modifications across various sectors, with a special focus on enhancing the electrical transmission systems to support a renewable energy-led infrastructure.
This webinar will explain how both public and private entities can take advantage of the transition now under way in Chile''s power system. It will cover: challenges and opportunities created in the operation of the power system; elements driving the need for flexibility to support renewable energy integration in the power system; and
Chile''s renewable energy potential is substantial, with an estimated capacity of over 1,300 GW in solar, wind, and hydropower resources. The e-fuel sector is poised to play a significant role in utilizing this potential, with projections indicating that e-fuels could replace up to 20% of the country''s current liquid fuel consumption by 2040.
The global energy sector, particularly in Latin America and Chile, is undergoing a transformative phase with the strategic integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). In 2023, the Chilean energy storage market, a leader in this transformation, boasts ventures with a collective capacity of 6.4 GW, primarily in solar and wind

Recently, Chile managed to more than double the proportion of electricity it generates from renewable energy, going from solar and wind power generating 10% of the total electricity in 2017, to almost 28% of the total electricity in 2022 (Generadoras de Chile 2022).
The global energy sector, particularly in Latin America and Chile, is undergoing a transformative phase with the strategic integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). In 2023, the Chilean energy storage
Chile''s energy sector is governed by a robust regulatory framework aimed at promoting sustainability and environmental protection. The country''s long-term energy planning ( PELP 2023–27 ) emphasises the need for a resilient electrical system to support the integration of renewable energy sources.
Our theory highlights that market integration not only improves allocative efficiency by gains from trade but also incentivizes new investment in renewable power plants. To test our theoretical predictions, we examine how recent grid expansions in the Chilean electricity market changed electricity production, wholesale prices, generation costs
Recognizing the crucial role of the electrical industry in environmental sustainability, Chile is pushing towards a greener energy matrix, by means of robust regulatory reforms and significant infrastructural upgrades. At the center of these infrastructural upgrades is the expansion of Chile’s electrical transmission system.
As these reforms take shape, they promise to significantly impact the overall sustainability and economic viability of the nation’s energy infrastructure. Chile has embarked on an ambitious journey towards energy transition, framed by its commitment to combat climate change and promote sustainable growth.
As Chile continues to navigate the complexities of its energy transition, legislative advancements play a crucial role. In this regard, the Chilean Congress is currently debating the Energetic Transition Bill, aimed at further refining the regulatory landscape to facilitate smoother and more effective infrastructural developments.
