Chile’s solar revolution: more sun and less coal

 

The Atacama Desert in northern Chile receives some of the highest levels of solar radiation in the world. As a result, the solar energy industry is growing exponentially because “there are unique conditions for it,” says Bárbara Yañez, president of the board of the Chilean Solar Energy Association (Acesol). According to data from Generadoras de Chile, an association of renewable energy companies, renewable energy generation reached a record 63.8% in 2023, the highest on record, with solar accounting for 20% of the total, as more than 1.1 gigawatts (GW) of new solar projects came online.
