- Sungrow will supply 1 GWh BESS and inverters for Chile’s hybrid Aurora project, including a 220 MWdc solar plant.
- The Aurora project will generate 600 GWh/year, powering 200,000 homes and supporting Chile’s energy transition.
Sungrow will provide its advanced PowerTitan 2.0 liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS) and MV power conversion units for the Aurora hybrid project in Tarapacá, Chile. The storage system, with a capacity of around 1 GWh, complements a 220 MWdc solar plant equipped with Sungrow’s 1+X modular inverter (8.8 MW block design).
Currently under construction, the Aurora project will generate approximately 600 GWh of renewable electricity annually to power 200,000 Chilean homes. The BESS units are scheduled for delivery in Q4 2025.
Leo Moreno, CEO of Zelestra, described the agreement as a key milestone, “We have secured some of the most advanced BESS technology available to deliver one of the largest battery storage projects in Latin America.”
Sungrow Vice Chairman Jack Gu added, “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to accelerating the energy transition in Chile and across the region while ensuring a reliable, sustainable power supply.”
Zelestra, a Latin American project portfolio exceeding 7 GW, was recently ranked among BloombergNEF’s top 10 global corporate clean energy sellers and number two across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
