UKA Chile

UKA Chile serves the Chilean and broader Latin American market since 2019. The subsidiary is actively developing a diverse portfolio of solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS) as well as wind projects in Chile and Panama with a pipeline of approximately 2,000 MW.

Over the past decade, the Chilean market alone has witnessed remarkable growth in solar and wind energy, increasing from zero installed capacity to 8,593 MW in 2022, as reported by Chile’s Independent System Operator (Chilean ISO annual report). As part of Chile's energy transition, the gradual decommissioning of coal-fired power plants is anticipated, paving the way for additional wind and solar energy. This shift requires the development of approximately 22 GW of renewable energy sources to replace existing thermal generation.

UKA Chile is promoting the expansion of renewable energies in the region with an office in the country’s capital Santiago where wind, solar and BESS projects are planned and implemented. UKA Chile is a member of the Chilean Renewable Energy and Storage Association (ACERA) and supports projects in Panama as part of the Energy Committee of the German-Panamanian Chamber of Commerce.
