Sungrow has been selected by Verano Energy for the construction of a 152 MW/606 MWh BESS for the Observatorio project in Chile (Sungrow press release, 17/08/2026). The agreement includes the deployment of Sungrow's PowerTitan2.0 energy storage solution and a 25-year Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) covering the system's operation and maintenance.
The Observatorio project is planned to combine a 135 MW solar PV plant equipped with Sungrow SG350HX-20 inverters and the 606 MWh battery storage system. The four-hour BESS is expected to enable surplus renewable electricity to be stored and dispatched during periods of higher demand, supporting grid stability.
According to Verano Energy, the project forms part of its strategy to increase the value of renewable generation and improve flexibility in the Chilean electricity market.
As of 2025, Chile had an installed renewable capacity of 26.4 GW, representing around 64% of its total installed electric capacity (Enerdata’s Global Energy Research).
