Recently, BYD Energy Storage signed an energy storage supply agreement with globally renowned renewable energy company Grenergy to provide 3.5GWh of energy storage systems for Phase VI of Grenergy’s Oasis de Atacama Project in northern Chile. Previously, BYD Energy Storage supplied 3GWh of energy storage systems for the project’s first three phases, bringing the total cooperation volume to 6.5GWh.
This agreement represents Latin America’s largest energy storage supply contract, marking the deepening partnership between BYD Energy Storage and Grenergy. It also demonstrates renewed global recognition of BYD Energy Storage’s leading technology, exceptional delivery capabilities, comprehensive after-sales support system, and integrated strengths.
Under the agreement, BYD Energy Storage will supply Grenergy with 624 units of MC Cube-T BESS for the Elena Solar-plus-Storage Power Plant. As a critical component of the Oasis de Atacama Project, the Elena facility features 446MW photovoltaic capacity and 3.5GWh energy storage capacity. The MC Cube-T BESS utilizes CTS (Cell-to-System) ultra-integration technology, directly integrating Blade Batteries into the storage system. This achieves a 98% improvement in space utilization and a Vcts (Volume Ratio of Cell to System) exceeding 33%. Its advantages—easy layout, installation, maintenance, expansion, and transportation—deliver a high-safety, high-protection, durable, and high-efficiency solution for the large-scale, engineering-complex Oasis de Atacama Project. The MC Cube-T BESS also adopts compartmentalized modular design, cluster-level safety protection, and precision thermal management, adapting to extreme “desert-Gobi-wasteland” environments with wide temperature ranges and severe sandstorms. BYD Energy Storage overcomes geographical limits through technological innovation, providing a “desert solution” for global energy transition.
The Atacama Desert, leveraging the world’s strongest solar radiation resources and innovative energy storage technology, is transforming from a geographical extreme into an energy hub. The Oasis de Atacama Project ranks among the world’s largest electrochemical energy storage projects, with total storage capacity reaching 11GWh. Grenergy CEO David Ruiz de Andrés stated at the signing ceremony: “This agreement solidifies our leadership in energy storage. The project’s total installed capacity already exceeds that of countries like the UK and Germany, setting a benchmark for 24/7 clean energy supply.”
Yin Xiaoqiang, General Manager of BYD Energy Storage and Advanced Battery Division, emphasized: “BYD remains committed to advancing global clean energy. This renewed collaboration with Grenergy marks a significant step forward in energy storage. Through innovative technology and dedicated service, we will deliver safe, reliable energy storage solutions to ensure continuous clean energy supply for the Oasis de Atacama Project.”
This agreement signifies BYD Energy Storage and Grenergy jointly illuminating a green future for Chile’s Atacama Desert—the world’s driest region. BYD Energy Storage will deepen global partnerships, empowering green low-carbon development with innovative technology to advance global sustainable progress.
