Press Release
Abastible, a Chilean company dedicated to commercialising liquefied gas, and Zelestra, a global multi-technology and customer-focused renewable energy company, signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) to sell electricity from 100% renewable sources.
The multi-technology solution utilises a 220 MWdc solar PV plant and a 1 GWh battery energy storage system.
This agreement marks a milestone in Abastible’s strategy to advance its commitment to sustainability and guarantees a night-time supply of renewable energy that will allow it to expand its carbon-free energy portfolio.
The hybrid plant, which has already started construction, will generate approximately 600 GWh of renewable electricity per year, equivalent to the annual consumption of 200,000 Chilean households, contributing significantly to the country’s decarbonisation.
José Luis García, CEO of Zelestra Latam, comments: “This contract with Abastible is a clear example of how Zelestra creates customised energy solutions to support our customers with carbon-free renewable energy.
“We are proud to partner with Abastible, by providing clean and sustainable energy that allows them to advance product development in pursuit of sustainability and emissions reduction for their customers.”
Ignacio Mackenna, General Manager of AbastibleTec says: “This agreement with Zelestra reinforces our position as a relevant player in the commercialisation of renewable electricity in Chile.
With this contract, we advance our mission to provide renewable energy for our customers by accompanying them on the path to the country’s energy transition.”
Zelestra has recently been named among the 10 largest sellers of clean energy to corporate customers globally by BNEF, and number two in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.”
The company demonstrates with this contract its ability to develop tailor-made solutions, its commitment to Chile, a key market for its growth, and its role in the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
