Chile’s 2025/01 power tender, seeking 3,360 GWh a year for regulated customers from 2027–2030, drew six bidders, with headline offers starting at $38/MWh. An award is slated today, with a possible second-stage decision tomorrow, signaling confidence in Chile’s rules and its north-to-center grid integrating additional solar and storage.The auction’s zonal blocks and hourly bands favor hybrid portfolios: daytime solar shaped by batteries, backed by wind or contracted imports for evenings and winter. That design enforces interconnection discipline along the Atacama-to-SIC backbone. For lenders and corporates, robust competition points to lower delivered costs, storage buildout, and PPAs that value flexibility. What does $38/MWh signal for storage buildout and hybrid portfolios in Chile? - Confirms bankable economics for multi-hour batteries: bids at $38/MWh imply 4–6 hour BESS co-located with solar can clear long-tenor, UF-indexed supply at utility scale.- Pushes portfolios toward true hybrids: daytime PV shaped by BESS plus firming from wind (south/center) and limited cross-zonal transfers to meet evening/winter blocks.- Accelerates storage capex deflation targets: developers will need installed BESS costs in the low $300s/kWh (or better via DC-coupling and shared balance-of-plant) to preserve margins.- Normalizes DC-coupled design: clipping capture, shared interconnection, and reduced losses become standard to hit delivered-cost thresholds.- Drives longer-duration optimization: 5–6 hour batteries become the new baseline in the north; 3–4 hour may suffice where wind complementarity is strong.- Increases value of nodal diversity: mixing Atacama PV with central/southern wind reduces imbalance penalties and lowers reliance on congested corridors.- Elevates curtailment arbitrage: BESS monetizes surplus midday energy otherwise stranded by congestion, improving project netbacks without new lines.- Strengthens lender comfort with storage revenue: energy shifting plus firming obligations create predictable cash flows, supplementing sufficiency payments and ancillary services.- Sets a competitive PPA price anchor for C&I: corporates will reference the tender price, spurring hybrid PPAs that explicitly price flexibility and availability by hour/season.- Encourages overbuild and redundancy: slight PV over-sizing and excess storage capacity hedge penalties and seasonal variability at low marginal cost.- Tightens interconnection discipline: portfolios with proven dispatchability and congestion management will outcompete pure-play solar.- Shifts OEM selection toward LFP and high-cycle warranties: round-trip efficiency, degradation guarantees, and augment plans decide winners at razor-thin spreads.- Boosts merchant cannibalization risk management: hybrids will prioritize contracted delivery first, using remaining cycles for merchant spreads only when congestion eases.- Brings transmission timing into investment cases: storage is a near-term workaround, but portfolios that align with planned reinforcements capture upside.- Catalyzes consolidation: only balance-sheet developers and funds with cheap capital and construction prowess can consistently deliver sub-$40/MWh hybrids.- Incentivizes local O&M and augmentation hubs: to maintain availability and warranty compliance over long contracts, service localization becomes a cost lever.- Signals policy traction for standalone storage: even co-located wins validate the revenue stack and should accelerate standalone BESS participation under updated rules.- Raises bar for imports and thermal backup: contracted imports or residual gas will play a narrower, price-capped role as hybrids shoulder evening ramps.- Highlights permitting and community as critical path: schedules and social license now matter as much as equipment pricing to meet firm-hour obligations.

Chile intends to produce the globe's least expensive green hydrogen by 2030 and have 5GW of electrolysis ability under advancement by 2025, the country's head of state, Sebastián Piñera, revealed. " Green hydrogen will certainly permit us to export our renewable resources to a globe that is moving quickly in the direction of decarbonisation and that needs tidy as well as cost effective power," Piñera claimed at the inauguration of the Green Hydrogen Summit - Chile 2020 digital meeting. The country has developed an activity strategy that will certainly consist of a financing round of US$ 50 million for environment-friendly hydrogen projects in addition to the creation of a task force to keep an eye on the allowing procedure. Energy minister Juan Carlos Jobet suggested the green hydrogen proposals will certainly include US$ 200 billion in financial investments over the next 20 years and create 100,000 work. Along with adding to Chile's goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050, Jobet stated the environment-friendly hydrogen sector "can achieve the relevance that the mining market has" in the country's economic situation. " Green hydrogen is a critical opportunity for Chile. Our country is the ideal place to generate and also export green hydrogen and also its by-products, consisting of ammonia, methanol as well as artificial fuels," he added. According to the International Energy Agency, Chile might produce up to 160 million lots of environment-friendly hydrogen annually. Enel last month announced plans for green hydrogen production through an electrolyser fuelled by wind power that will be established in the Patagonia area. Project of 'international importance' for South Australia In a move to unlock export possibilities, specifically in Asia, South Australia's federal government has backed a AU$ 240 million (US$ 173 million) eco-friendly hydrogen project it claims will certainly increase economic task as well as create brand-new tasks. The government has actually collaborated with Australian hydrogen framework programmer H2U on the Eyre Peninsula Gateway Hydrogen Project at Port Bonython. The initial stage will see the construction of 75MW electrolyser and also ammonia plant in Whyalla, which is readied to be the biggest facility of its kind in Australia. State premier Steven Marshall said that while the AU$ 240 million demonstrator phase of the project is of "worldwide value", it is simply a forerunner to a bigger production as well as export facility that could see South Australia reinforce power connections with international customers. "This comes at the excellent time, as we lead our financial recuperation from the international coronavirus pandemic," he claimed. Inviting the propositions, Australian environment adjustment interactions body the Climate Council stated that with the appropriate policies as well as investments, the nation has the potential to be a leader in clean hydrogen. "South Australia's strategy to create and also export renewable hydrogen will certainly have lots of advantages. It will certainly create work for Australians, develop a future export sector and take on climate adjustment, all at the same time," claimed the Climate Council's CEO, Amanda McKenzie. Asian markets have actually been touted as feasible export destinations for Australia-produced hydrogen. In the last year, the nation has signed hydrogen-related contracts with Japan, South Korea and Singapore. It is likewise accomplishing a two-year study into the feasibility of transporting hydrogen produced from renewables to Germany.
