In December 2024, ContourGlobal entered the Chilean renewables market through the acquisition of a large-scale solar PV + battery energy storage (BESS) portfolio, with a total generation capacity of 451 MW and 2.5 GWh of BESS (equivalent to 400 MW of storage with up to 6.5 hours of duration).
These projects mark a regional milestone, representing the longest-duration hybrid solar + storage development in South America, and supporting ContourGlobal’s “Solar at Night” model, which delivers clean energy even during off-sunlight hours.
The Quillaga facility, located in Antofagasta, includes a 103 MW segment already in operation at the time of acquisition, and an additional 118 MW PV segment along with the full BESS now completed and energized. It is under a 15-year PPA with an investment-grade counterparty purchasing energy overnight.
Located in Tarapacá, the Victor Jara project began construction in December 2024 and is progressing on schedule. Like Quillaga, it has a 15-year PPA secured and will supply clean energy into the night, supporting grid stability and decarbonization in Chile.

Quillagua
Quillagua is a 221 MWp photovoltaic solar plant with a 1.2 GWh battery storage system, capable of delivering 200 MW for 6.2 hours after sunset, making it the largest solar plant with a storage system in Latin America. The plant starts commercial operation in May 2025 to fulfill its long-term clean energy purchase agreement (PPA) and ensuring the supply of solar energy at night and dispatching any surplus to the commercial market.
Victor Jara
We are moving ahead with the construction in Tarapacá of the Victor Jara project – a 230 MW PV plant coupled with 1.3 GWh of BESS) which started in December 2024. Based on the progress of construction, we are now expecting COD of this plant in the second half of 2025.
Victor Jara, as well as Quillagua, has secured a 15-year PPA with an investment grade counterparty that buys our energy overnight.
