The Chilean Renewable Energy and Storage Association (ACERA) said that Chile has consolidated a renewable electricity mix. It now faces structural constraints linked to grid bottlenecks, curtailment, and rising flexibility needs. In 2025, the National Electric System generated 87 TWh, with renewables accounting for 63.3% of total output. Other renewable energy represented 42.4% of generation,

Chile is shifting the emphasis from the previous 25 GW electrolysis capacity by 2030 to a production-volume target of about 900,000 tonnes per year by 2035. This shift broadens focus from pure production capacity to consumption and export objectives. The change reflects slower global market uptake, higher capital and operating costs for electrolysis, and investor
