en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 26, Canadian renewable energy company Innergex launched the Salvador II battery energy storage system in the Atacama region of Chile, with a project scale of 20 MW/100 MWh. Located near the city of Diego de Almagro, the storage system is adjacent to Innergex's existing 68 MW Salvador solar photovoltaic power plant and has commenced charging and discharging operations.

The Salvador II energy storage system will operate in coordination with the power grid, providing regulation capacity for local renewable energy generation. The site previously hosted the 50 MW/250 MWh Salvador I energy storage system, which was commissioned in 2023. Innergex has also recently connected a second battery array adjacent to the San Andres solar project in the Atacama Desert, adding 42 MW/210 MWh of capacity, indicating the company's continued push for solar-plus-storage projects in Chile.

Innergex has also recently secured $114 million in financing for the development of new standalone energy storage projects, and $42 million for refinancing existing renewable energy assets. With the launch of the Salvador II energy storage system, the company will further enhance the flexibility of its solar-plus-storage asset portfolio in Chile. The subsequent operational performance will need to be assessed based on grid dispatch, storage utilization hours, and market revenue conditions.
