Sungrow to Supply 606 MWh Storage System for Verano Energy's Chile Project

Sungrow has been selected by Verano Energy to supply its PowerTitan 2.0 energy storage solution for the Observatorio project in Chile, comprising a 152 MW / 606 MWh battery system with a four-hour duration, alongside a 25-year Long-Term Service Agreement. The project will combine a 135 MW solar photovoltaic plant, equipped with Sungrow SG350HX-20 inverters, with the utility-scale storage system, allowing renewable energy to be stored and dispatched during periods of higher demand.

 

Pairing solar generation with four-hour battery storage addresses a specific limitation of standalone solar plants: solar output drops to zero after sunset, precisely when electricity demand often remains high, and storing surplus daytime generation for later dispatch lets a project supply power during those evening demand periods rather than only while the sun is shining. That capability is intended to strengthen the stability of Chile's power system and support greater integration of renewable energy into the national grid, a market the release describes as one of the most dynamic in Latin America for battery storage project development.

For Verano Energy, an independent power producer with a growing renewable energy portfolio across Latin America, Observatorio represents a strategic addition to its Chilean portfolio, incorporating storage specifically to maximise the value of its solar generation and address power system flexibility challenges. Chief operating officer Tomás Anuch said the storage integration would help unlock the full potential of the company's solar resource while providing greater flexibility to the power system, and credited the partnership with Sungrow as giving the company confidence to develop a project meeting high performance and reliability standards.

Beyond equipment supply, Sungrow's 25-year service agreement is intended to ensure the system's operational availability, performance and reliability throughout its full lifecycle, a long-duration commitment reflecting the multi-decade operating horizon typical of utility-scale battery storage assets. Gonzalo Feito, Sungrow's regional director for Latin America, said the agreement reinforced the company's commitment to developing high-performance energy infrastructure and accelerating Chile's energy transition. Deploying large-scale storage of this kind is also intended to reduce curtailment, the practice of deliberately limiting renewable generation output when the grid cannot absorb it, by giving excess solar generation somewhere to go rather than being wasted.
