The Contourglobal Developer Owned by the American investment giant KKR Has inaugurated the Quillagua Solar-Plus storage factory in the María Elena Commune of Chile in the Antopagasta region in María Elena.
The commercial operation of the Power Purchase Agreement-Backed-Site-with 221 MW of solar generation capacity and a 200 MW/1.2 GWH Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)-is expected within a few weeks.
The developer says that Quillagua is the largest site for solar-plus-plus in Latin America.
The project was taken over from the Spanish developer Grennergy at the end of last year, together with the 231 MW Solar and 1.3 GWH Bess Víctor Jara Solar-Plus-Storage site in the Tarapacá region. Contourglobal said that Víctor Jara will be ready this year, a few months earlier than planned.
The two locations generate almost 1.3 TWH of clean energy for Contourglobal, once operational, and mark the access of the developer in the Chilean market.
