Generadoras de Chile’s latest report underscores the ongoing growth of battery storage systems paired with solar farms, noting over 2.5 GW currently operational and another 6.3 GW being built, as renewable energy curtailment rises and transmission bottlenecks persist in southern Chile.
In March 2026, solar photovoltaic generation in Chile’s National Electric System (SEN) totaled 2,141 GWh, making up 28.7% of the month’s electricity output, per the industry group representing power producers. Solar output hit an instantaneous record of 75.1% of the grid mix at midday on March 14.
By the end of March, operational solar capacity reached 11,999 MW, with an extra 10,203 MW of renewable capacity—mostly solar and storage—under development. The SEN’s total installed capacity stood at 38,005 MW, of which 26,553 MW (69.9%) came from renewable sources. Solar PV led among renewables, followed by wind at 5,965 MW and run-of-river hydro at 4,005 MW.
Renewables supplied 62% of the SEN’s monthly generation, exceeding 50% on every day of March. At 2:00 PM on March 1, renewables peaked at 92.6% of instantaneous output.
Regionally, Antofagasta accounted for 35% of solar generation, Atacama for 22%, and the Metropolitan Region for 7%.
According to Generadoras de Chile, 10,474 MW is under construction in the SEN, comprising 2,753 MW of solar PV and 6,358 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS), including both standalone and hybrid solar-storage projects. Renewable projects represent 97.4% of all capacity being built.
Energy storage expansion continues alongside solar. Chile now operates 2,529 MW / 8,786 MWh of storage, with 6,361 MW / 22,479 MWh under construction and 10,560 MW / 52,833 MWh undergoing environmental review. A large share of operational systems are BESS units integrated with solar plants, intended to move solar output to evening hours and limit curtailment.
In the environmental assessment queue, 14,587 MW of renewable capacity is pending, including 10,366 MW of solar PV (57.5% of the total), 4,005 MW of BESS, and 1,957 MW of hybrid solar-wind installations.
The report also points to operational difficulties from high renewable penetration. In March, curtailment totaled 595.8 GWh, or 20% of combined solar and wind generation, with 430.3 GWh from solar and 165.5 GWh from wind. Generadoras de Chile links the curtailment mainly to grid security issues and transmission congestion, especially on the Charrua-Puerto Montt corridor, which saw congestion during 39.7% of March hours.
