Chile continues to expand its decentralized energy infrastructure<\/strong> with the environmental approval of the Pradera Larga solar project, developed by Limes Renewable Energy. Located in Casablanca, Valpara\u00edso Region, this hybrid project integrates an 84 MWp solar photovoltaic plant<\/a><\/strong> with a 90 MW battery energy storage system (BESS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike megaprojects in northern Chile, Limes chooses high-demand areas such as Casablanca to install renewable infrastructure, reducing dependence on long-distance transmission. This decision seeks to increase the efficiency of the electricity system and facilitate more stable PPA contracts<\/a><\/strong> by avoiding grid bottlenecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pradera Larga project represents an estimated investment of US$150 million<\/a><\/strong> and becomes the company’s most important development outside Europe to reach this stage of progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chile as a pillar of expansion in Latin America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a consolidated track record in Italy, Limes considers Chile as a key market for its regional growth. Pradera Larga’s environmental approval (RCA) confirms its ability to adapt to more demanding regulatory environments such as those in the center of the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step for Pradera Larga will be to reach the Ready-to-Build (RTB) stage<\/strong>, including financial structuring and the definition of power purchase and sale contracts<\/a><\/strong>. In parallel, the company is managing the processing of other projects, such as BESS Hua\u00f1il (200 MW), as well as early stage developments such as BESS Pimiento and BESS El Ganso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust energy storage portfolio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Limes’ current pipeline in Chile reaches 180 MWp in solar PV<\/strong> and 620 MW in BESS storage. This portfolio seeks to actively contribute to the stability of the national energy system, especially in contexts of high variability of renewable generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Pradera Larga as a reference, Limes consolidates its position as an independent power producer (IPP) focused on hybrid solutions and large-scale projects in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
