Distributed energy resources in Chile can be classified into two categories. The first includes power plants with an installed capacity of up to 9 MW, connected to the electricity grid via distribution lines within the area served by the distribution company (PMGD, in Spanish) or via transmission lines (PMG, in Spanish).
Storage capacities are rapidly advancing in Chile. As of July 2024, there are 26 standalone energy storage system projects nationwide under environmental evaluation in the SEIA (Environmental System), equivalent to 2,103 MW of installed storage capacity, 10,639 MWh of stored energy, and an investment of US$2.8bn.
It is important to note that Chile's electricity system operates in a two-tier market: (1) the market among generators, or 'spot market', where energy is valued and sold at the marginal price at the specific node where transactions occur; and (2) the contract market, where generators can sell energy to end customers through PPAs.
How much congestion is affecting Transformers in Chile in 2024?
Data from Chile's ISO of May 2024 highlights a significant rise in substation-level congestion, from none in 2020 to 56 substations in 2024. This congestion also affects other infrastructure, including transformers, many of which are experiencing an inversion of electrical flow due to the integration of PMGDs.
The electricity sector of Uruguay has traditionally been based on domestic along with plants, and reliant on imports from and at times of peak demand. Investments in renewable energy sources such as and over the preceding 10 years allowed the country to cover 98% of its electricity needs with sources by 2025.

The Salto Grande Hydroelectric Plant with 1800 MW is the largest power station in Uruguay. Wind farm in Valentines. In the years leading up to 2009, the Uruguayan electricity system faced difficulties to supply the increasing demand from its domestic market.
Maximum demand on the order of 1,500 MW (historic peak demand, 1,668 MW happened in July 2009 ) is met with a generation system of about 2,200 MW capacity. This apparently wide installed reserve margin conceals a high vulnerability to hydrology. Access to electricity in Uruguay is very high, above 98.7%.
This report on bringing 5G to power explores how the shift to renewables creates opportunities and challenges through connected power distribution grids.
What is the installed capacity of Argentina-Uruguay?
Of the installed capacity, about 29% is hydropower, accounting for 1,538 MW which includes half of the capacity of the Argentina-Uruguay bi-national Salto Grande, a similar share corresponds to wind farms while the rest is composed mainly of biomass, photovoltaic solar and thermal. The table below shows the installed capacity as of 2024:
