Synopsis

The recently passed Supreme Decree 70 (DS 70) outlines significant changes in the recognition and compensation of energy storage projects in Chile and is expected to spur on deployment for both co-located and standalone projects.

  • What needs to happen to ensure traditional banks are comfortable with lending capital for an energy storage project in Latin America?
  • How do you build a capital stack for these types of assets?
  • Technology choices, business cases and how to make projects more attractive to investors
  • How owners and operators can guarantee new revenue streams for storage assets in Chile and beyond
