REN acquired Chile’s Transemel and gained ownership and operational control of 423 km of transmission lines and five substations. This infrastructure is crucial for the diverse mining operations that highlight the importance of the strategic value of the transmission network. Mining operations need massive amounts of reliable electricity to power extraction, processing, pumping, and transportation […]

Argentina’s pipeline of energy storage systems is expanding through the development of several new routes. The current pipeline vectors distribution-grid support, renewable hybridization, and thermoelectric flexibility. The first major development occurred when authorities awarded a 713 MW storage project in Buenos Aires province focused on peak shaving and urban grid stabilization. These projects reduce stress

The Andes region in Argentina holds some of the world’s largest underdeveloped copper resources under the mountain range. The development of projects such as Josemaria, Los Azules, and El Pachón could strengthen Argentina’s role in energy supply chains while supporting economic growth and infrastructure modernization. Copper is crucial for electrification technologies, including electric vehicles, renewable

Energy transition, economic and regulatory reform, and renewal bilateral diplomacy are converging to unlock Chile and Argentina’s cross-border mining projects. The Andean region has an estimated 1.2% of global copper resources and 0.4% of global copper reserves. Copper is a crucial metal in electric vehicle motors, grid-scale battery storage, wind turbine wiring, and renewable energy
