AES Gener and AES Energy Storage completed an energy storage project in Northern Chile, integrating 20 MW of advanced battery-based energy storage with a 544-MW thermal power plant.
The project is owned by AES Gener, the second-largest power generator in the country.
The companies, both AES subsidiaries, previously developed a 12-MW energy storage system integrated with AES Gener's Norgener power plant.
Located at an electrical substation 172 kilometers from Antofagasta, Chile, the Los Andes Battery Energy Storage System has been delivering a similar reliability service since 2009.
