The deal includes 468 MC Cube-T batteries, which will be deployed across 4 project phases – Gran Teno (241 MW solar and 939 MWh storage), Planchón (108 MW solar and 402 MWh storage), Tamango (49 MW solar and 168 MWh storage), and Monte Águila (34 MW solar and 1.1 GWh storage).
The first shipment of 168 batteries for the Gran Teno plant has already departed from Da Chan aboard the vessel Star Loen, with arrival expected in mid-April, while foundation works for installation are underway. Grenergy said the Central Oasis platform, with an estimated $900 million investment, aims to replicate the solar-plus-storage model used in its Oasis de Atacama project, with operations expected between 2026 and 2027.
