The site visit formed part of ProChile’s broader effort to position Chile as a development and export platform for energy solutions, emphasizing the country’s regulatory framework, human capital and large-scale infrastructure experience. Lorena Sepúlveda, National Director of ProChile, stated the country has consolidated as a renewable energy reference in Latin America not solely through natural resources but through a network of technology and service providers that enable large-scale project development.
Atlas Renewable Energy used the demonstration to highlight its regional infrastructure development capacity, including integration of renewable generation with storage systems. César Vásquez, manager of Regulatory and Commercial Operations at Atlas, emphasized that energy transition now extends beyond adding renewable capacity to developing infrastructure enabling flexible, reliable management at scale.
The company disclosed a storage leadership position in Chile and the broader region with 200 MW of stand-alone capacity currently operational. Atlas projects reaching 1,013 MW when including projects under construction and development, effectively tripling its installed capacity in this technology segment.
The Quilapilún facility represents one of Chile’s most significant solar assets within the national energy ecosystem. Atlas positioned its role as a regional reference in creating large-scale clean energy infrastructure that enables countries and major consumers to access reliable, competitive, emissions-free power.
The technical exchange between public and private actors generated dialogue on energy transition challenges and opportunities, reinforcing Chile’s positioning as a regional hub. The delegation visit specifically aimed to showcase on-site development of Chile’s renewable energy industry and the country’s capabilities to design, execute and scale sustainable energy solutions across different market contexts.
