Overview
Two reports published the same day highlight Chile’s storage buildout against a backdrop of rising renewable curtailment. Energy-Storage.news reports that curtailment of solar PV and wind increased in 2025 and surpassed 6 TWh, while the energy storage fleet mitigated 2 TWh.

Why now
- Both items were published on 2026-01-12, linking fresh project commissioning with 2025 curtailment data.
- Commissioning of a large PV+BESS project coincides with reporting on rising curtailment trends.
Why it matters
- Curtailment exceeding 6 TWh underscores integration pressure for Chile’s wind and solar.
- Reported 2 TWh of curtailment mitigation positions storage as a key system tool.
- New 293 MWp PV paired with 110 MW/220 MWh BESS signals continued solar-plus-storage scaling.
