September 1, 2022 – TheNewswire - Canadian Solar (CSIQ) has been awarded a 253 MWp solar and 1,000 MWh battery energy storage project in Chile. The Chilean Energy National Commission recently awarded a total of 777 GWh/year of new generation backed by three different new renewable projects, of which the Zaldivar Project will account for 16%.

This solar and battery storage project awarded to Canadian Solar will reinforce our leading position in Latin America, particularly in Chile where Canadian Solar has a backlog of 600 MWp of solar projects and 2.2 GWh of battery storage projects. We will continue to expand our project pipeline in Chile, helping the country meet its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050."
