AES Andes Obtains Environmental Permit for 340 MW Cristales PV Project in Chile;Huawei Digital Power and REVO Energia Collaborate and More...

AES Andes , the Chilean electricity generator, has secured the environmental permit for its Cristales photovoltaic project, set to generate up to 340 MW, alongside an energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of up to 542 MW for 5 hours. The project will be located in the commune of Antofagasta, approximately 220 km from the regional capital.

华为数字能源 , the solar energy division of the multinational technology and smart devices company, has partnered with REVO Energia to launch Energy as a Service (EaaS) in the Brazilian market.

In a joint effort between leading renewable energy solutions providers Hydro Rein and Atlas Renewable Energy along with Albras, a collaborative venture between Hydro and Nippon Amazon Aluminium Co. Ltd. (NAAC), the Boa Sorte solar plant emerges as a beacon of sustainable energy production in Brazil. With an impressive installed capacity of 438 MW, the facility is poised to generate approximately 920 GWh annually, catering to the energy needs of over 394,000 Brazilian households.

Enel North America , a leading clean energy company, and Eaton, an intelligent power management firm, have announced the successful completion of Puerto Rico’s largest clean energy microgrid. Located at Eaton’s circuit breaker manufacturing facility in Arecibo, the system combines a 5-megawatt (MWac) solar system with a 1.1 MW battery and existing onsite generators. By generating and storing clean energy independently from the external power grid, the microgrid significantly reduces the facility’s carbon footprint, enhances energy resilience, and fortifies community infrastructure.

In a significant development in Brazil’s renewable energy sector, TrinaTracker , a business unit of Trina Solar, has proudly announced its pivotal contribution to the 520 MW Santa Luzia Complex, one of the largest solar plants in the country. Equipped with cutting-edge Vanguard 1P trackers featuring the SuperTrack Smart Tracking algorithm, the plant, currently undergoing commissioning, is poised to make a substantial impact on Brazil’s clean energy landscape.
