Sungrow, a leading global supplier of renewable energy solutions, has been selected by Verano Energy to supply a 152MW/606MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) for the Observatorio project in Chile. The project combines a 135MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant with the BESS, and is designed to improve the stability of Chile's power system and increase the integration of renewable energy sources.
The agreement includes a 25-year long-term service agreement for maintaining and supporting the system. Sungrow will use its PowerTitan 2.0 ESS solution and the battery facility is designed for a four-hour duration. The project, scheduled to be completed in June 2026, follows Sungrow's commissioning of a similar 150MW/600MWh BESS in Nova Zagora, Bulgaria in June 2026.
Verano Energy's chief operating officer, Tomás Anuch, stated that the initiative contributes to advancing infrastructure aimed at supporting Chile's energy transition. Sungrow LATAM regional director Gonzalo Feito expressed pride in being entrusted with the supply of the energy storage solution for the Observatorio project.
