Sungrow secures a 606 MWh battery contract for Verano Energy’s Observatorio solar‑plus‑storage project in Chile
Executive summary: Sungrow was selected by Verano Energy to supply a 606 megawatt‑hour energy‑storage system for the Observatorio project in Chile. The installation will increase Chile’s grid‑scale storage capacity, support renewable integration, and strengthen Sungrow’s position in the Latin American ESS market.
Who is involved: Sungrow (provider), Verano Energy (independent power producer), and the Observatorio project developers in Chile.
Likely next: Sungrow will begin delivery of the battery modules, followed by installation and commissioning of the storage system at the Observatorio site.
The contract adds 606 MWh of utility‑scale storage to Chile’s growing renewable portfolio, addressing the intermittency of solar generation. Sungrow, a leading Chinese PV inverter and ESS provider, expands its footprint in Latin America’s energy‑storage market. Verano Energy gains dispatchable capacity that can improve project economics and reduce curtailment. The deal reflects the region’s push to pair large‑scale solar with storage to meet decarbonisation targets.
