There are three approaches to energy storage available in Chile including Carnot Battery (thermal energy storage), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and liquid air energy storage (LAES). As of April 2026, Chile stands as the undisputed leader of Latin America's energy storage revolution. With over 1,700 MW of batteries already in operation, approximately 600 MW in testing, and an additional 846 MW / 2,872 MWh in commissioning, the Chilean energy storage market has not merely met. Through strategic partnerships, Fluence has deployed multiple generations of its advanced Gridstack battery storage technology over more than a decade, across multiple projects in the country, delivering various benefits: 1. Each is operated entirely by private companies, including local and international. 7 GWh of energy storage is forecast to be installed: • Chile's administration considers storage strategic for the country's goals (at least 60% of renewables by 2030, 100% by 2050).
