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….
