Chile has emerged as a global producer of renewable energy given its abundant natural resources. The Atacama Desert provides resources for wind and solar power production.
Chile uses solar energy to pump seawater to generate electricity

The world"s first pumped hydro storage project is being developed in Chile, using solar energy to push seawater up a cliff. Wind power has long been stored using pumped hydro.
Chile Focuses on Solar and Storage as Generation Capacity Expands

Chile''s current energy mix includes solar power, wind power, and hydropower, which all have more than a 20% share of annual generation.
Solar power in Chile

Solar power in Chile is an increasingly important source of energy. Total installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity in Chile reached 11.05 GW in 2023. In 2024, Solar energy provided 19.92 TWh of electricity generation in Chile, accounting for 22.3% of total national electricity grid generation, compared to less than 0.1% in 2013. In October 2015 Chile''s Ministry of Energy announced its "Roadmap to 2050: A Sustainable and Inclus
