ContourGlobal has brought the Victor Jara project in Chile’s Tarapacá Region online, integrating 231 MW of solar PV with a 200 MW/1.3 GWh battery energy storage system capable of supplying electricity for up to 6.5 hours. The project is among the world’s longest-duration utility-scale battery installations and the longest currently operating in Latin America. It will store daytime solar generation and dispatch it during evening hours under a 15-year power purchase agreement.
