Grid-scale Tesla Megapack batteries for 912 MWh Chilean project delivered The batteries have been unloaded at the port of Puerto Arica. They will be installed at a 228 MW/912 MWh project in the Arica and Parinacota region. By Luis Ini Aug 21, 2025 Grid-scale Projects & Applications Image: Tesla The 240 Tesla Megapack batteries bound for the $260 million Colbún Solar Cell project, in the Camarones municipality, have been delivered to the port of Puerto Arica. The batteries, each weighing 38.1 tons, arrived on 11 Maersk and MSC ships. Specialized trucks with swan-neck ramps will deliver each battery to the site, which is due for commissioning in mid 2026. Colbún confirmed the project will have four hours’ energy storage capacity. Colbún Solar Cell will require a booster substation, a 220 kV transmission line, and support buildings on a 10-hectare site. The project is expected to create 200 direct and indirect jobs during the construction phase, with priority given to hiring local workers. The developer has described the project as its first large-scale energy storage facility and one of Chile’s biggest. A deal was signed for 200 Tesla Megapacks in December. Each unit can store more than 3.9 MWh, enough to power an average 3,600 homes for an hour. Construction of the site began in January. The project is expected to provide enough electricity to meet demand from 55,480 homes. From pv magazine LatAm. ess-news.com
