Distributed Generation in Chile for global decarbonization

Distributed Generation in Chile for global decarbonization

August 25, 2023   From the point of view of self-consumption, there is also evidence that the development of electricity supply systems with a high integration of generation and distributed storage can facilitate the electrification of transport and heating, which is crucial to achieve global decarbonization goals. It is difficult to conceive of a perspective from which a distributed energy supply system does not exceed…

Energy Transition

July 18, 2023 Column by Daniel Olivares, La Tercera The energy transition is above all a moral transition that is believed to take another 27 years worldwide. In Chile, the path will be full of adjustments in our regulation, which will gradually reflect a new balance between the principles of sustainability and resilience, and the principle of economic efficiency. Along these lines, the current energy…

Daniel Olivares, director of Centra UAI: «Mining is a necessary activity for the energy transition»

May 16, 2023 The academic and director of the Energy Transition Center (CENTRA) at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI) emphasizes that fighting climate change requires solutions that will increase the demand for minerals, particularly copper, nickel, cobalt, and lithium. “When we talk about the energy transition, we are referring to the process of gradually replacing primary energy sources, which today are mainly fossil fuels,” explains Daniel…

The points that renewable energy, the other key player, must work on

January 25, 2025 Even though Chile is privileged in terms of renewable energy generation, achieving a 100% green energy matrix requires progress in flexibility, storage, and other areas. The solar radiation in the Atacama Desert and strong winds across the country make Chile uniquely positioned to generate solar and wind energy, complemented by hydropower. Together, these sources give Chile a substantial renewable energy generation capacity….

Project studies uncertainty over the use of renewable energy in the Chilean energy transition

January 11, 2023 Initiative Led by UAI Researchers Spanned Three Years and Involved $450 Million in Funding In December 2020, a group of academics and researchers from the Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI), Faculty of Engineering and Sciences, and the Business School won the Anillo Project ACT-192094. This initiative aimed to study the adaptation of Chilean energy systems to climate change by analyzing the use of…
