en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish company Grenergy has officially launched the Elena project in Chile, currently the largest battery energy storage station in the Americas, with an operational storage capacity of 3.5 GWh and plans to expand to 7 GWh by 2028.

The Elena project is part of the "Atacama Oasis" plan, which involves a total investment of $2.5 billion and includes 2.5 GW of solar power generation and 14.1 GWh of energy storage. The company stated that such infrastructure helps accelerate industrial electrification, mining decarbonization, and electric transportation development, while laying the foundation for Chile to become a hub for artificial intelligence and data centers in Latin America.

Additionally, Grenergy plans to build an AI training park named "Atacama Data" near the Elena project, powered by renewable energy with zero water consumption, which could attract up to $25 billion in direct digital infrastructure investment to Chile.
