Chile's power sector is advancing with the submission of 304 grid projects by power generators and transmission firms for the 2024 transmission plan. These projects, focusing on energy storage, transmission lines, and substations, aim to strengthen both national and zonal transmission systems. Investment in zonal transmission is crucial to meet the energy demands of industrial consumers in Chile's central zone. Additionally, the grid coordinator CEN has proposed 91 projects worth around US$1 billion to further enhance the transmission infrastructure. Meanwhile, in Uruguay, the energy and water regulator, Ursea, is working on approving safety rules for hydrogen projects as a secondary energy source. This initiative aims to regulate the production of hydrogen in Uruguay. On a separate note, Genneia, the largest renewables generator in Argentina, is expanding its portfolio with a 180MW solar PV park named Anchoris in the Mendoza region. The project, priced at US$160 million, is set to supply power to private consumers in the Mater term market and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025. These developments reflect a positive momentum in renewable energy and transmission infrastructure in the region.
