REN obtained Chile’s Transemel, taking ownership and operational control of 423 kilometers of transmission lines and five substations. This infrastructure is essential for the varied mining activities that emphasize the significance of the transmission network’s strategic value. Mining activities need large quantities of dependable electricity to operate extraction, processing, pumping, and transportation systems. Consequently, transmission […]

The Victor Jara hybrid plant by ContourGlobal is crucial for Chile’s energy transition and the deployment of long-duration BESS. The project is located in the Tarapaca region and combines a 231 MWp solar photovoltaic facility with a 200 MW/1.3 GW BESS. The project addresses solar intermittency by storing surplus solar generation during daylight hours and

Argentina has abundant resources supporting its expanding renewable energy sector. A major boost came when authorities awarded 713 MW in projects in Buenos Aires. The AlmaSADI auction is also underway with bids on a 700 MW being sought for Buenos Aires and other provinces. In addition, Argentina’s biggest clean energy generator by installed capacity, Genneia,

Genneia, the largest clean energy producer in Argentina, is determining the future of its 118 MW Bragado thermoelectric facility. Bragado and the 245 MW Cruz Alta facility located in Tucuman province make up the company’s 363 MW collection of fossil fuel-powered power plants. Factors include fewer annual dispatch hours, heightened competition from cheaper renewable sources,

Partnerships with international energy firms, equipment manufacturers, research institutions, and investors lead to access to advanced technologies that support energy transition in Argentina. Technology transfer in Argentina is influenced by renewable energy development, modernizing infrastructure, improving industrial capabilities, and strengthening technical expertise. Technology transfer has introduced operational practices that improve renewable plant efficiency and reliability.

Argentina’s next phase of renewable deployment depends on infrastructure sequencing and bankability mechanics. The upcoming AMBA transmission project sits at the intersection of grid expansion, storage integration, and risk allocation. This development will also influence how capital is deployed into generation and BESS assets. The transmission project will cover 220kV and 500kV lines and a
