Chile has opened a 2,835 GWh tender that explicitly includes standalone battery storage as eligible technology, signalling regulatory acceptance of storage-only projects without co-located renewable generation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you make batteries or storage systems, Chile just created a 2,835 GWh contract pipeline where standalone storage competes on its own merits - no solar farm required. That's a new buyer category worth moving to.
