Verano Energy Taps Sungrow for 606 MWh Chilean Storage Project
A 152 MW, 606 MWh battery energy storage system is heading to Chile’s Observatorio site under a new supply deal between developer Verano Energy and technology provider Sungrow. The project pairs the massive storage capacity with a 135 MW solar plant to stabilize the local power grid and combat energy curtailment.
The Observatorio project centers on a four-hour duration storage solution using Sungrow’s PowerTitan 2.0 technology. By integrating the storage system with 135 MW of solar capacity—outfitted with SG350HX-20 inverters—Verano Energy aims to capture surplus solar production for dispatch during peak demand hours. The agreement secures technical longevity through a 25-year long-term service contract, ensuring operational availability for the infrastructure.
This development highlights the shift in Chile’s renewable landscape, where large-scale storage is increasingly vital for system flexibility. Tomás Anuch, chief operating officer at Verano Energy, noted that the integration of storage is essential to unlocking the full potential of their solar assets. For Sungrow, the deal deepens its footprint in Latin America, a region where the company has deployed over 11.5 GWh of energy storage since 2017. Gonzalo Feito, regional director of Sungrow LATAM, emphasized that the partnership focuses on high-performance infrastructure designed to meet the rigorous demands of the evolving national energy matrix.
