6 FAQs about [How much does a Chilean lithium energy storage power supply cost]
Is lithium ion battery storage available in Chile?
While many projects are under development, lithium - ion battery storage is still limited. According to data from Acera, the Chilean Renewable Energy Association, there are only 64MW of battery storage capacity currently active, representing 0.2% of national capacity.
Why does Chile need lithium?
For a nation rich in the lithium reserves desperately needed to support the pace of the energy transition, it is critical that Chile adopt strategies that help meet global demand, maximize the benefits for its people, and protect the environment. The world needs lithium—a lot of it—for batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and electricity storage.
Who owns the lithium industry in Chile?
Currently, the primary players in Chile's lithium industry are SQM, accounting for approximately 65% of production, and Albemarle, holding 35%. Both companies operate in the Salar de Atacama, where they control 34% of the world's lithium supply, equivalent to approximately 44 000 tons.
How much does a battery cost in Chile?
In fact, batteries charged at nearly $0/MWh during the day in the sunny, northern desert regions of Chile, sell energy at night for over $100/MWh. Although projects such as Engie’s BESS Coya are already enjoying these large spreads, this capacity payment will partially de-risk Chile’s dependence on volatile, but still profitable, merchant revenues.
Will Chile's lithium supply deficit affect EV adoption?
The world is not on track to meet this lithium demand, with an expected deficit of 12.5 percent by 2030. Supply deficits mean higher lithium prices, which in turn will be reflected in higher battery costs, slowing down EV adoption. Any setback to Chile’s lithium supply would add to that supply deficit and to costs.
Is lithium a critical energy resource in Chile?
The global and regional significance of lithium as a critical energy resource is examined. The evolution of Chile's lithium industry is analyzed, emphasizing two recent key policy initiatives: the 2015 National Lithium Commission report and the newly launched national lithium strategy.
