According to EnergyTrend, AlphaESS announced on June 15 that the opening ceremony of its Chilean subsidiary was recently held in Santiago, Chile. This marks the official establishment of AlphaESS’s local operational entity in Chile, solidifying its full-scale presence in Latin America’s energy storage market.
AlphaESS will supply energy storage systems, deliver customized solution design and full-cycle local operation and maintenance services for local commercial & industrial (C&I), small-to-medium mining, and grid-side energy storage projects, covering distributed energy storage and medium-sized energy storage station businesses.
AlphaESS’s official launch in Chile exemplifies Chinese energy storage enterprises’ deepened expansion into the Chilean market over the past two years.
A review by EnergyTrend shows that numerous Chinese energy storage manufacturers have developed differentiated localized overseas rollout strategies tailored to their product positioning and project scale.
For instance, Hithium also centers its local operations in Santiago. In March this year, Hithium set up a wholly-owned direct office in the city fully staffed with local technical and commercial teams, focusing on long-duration standalone energy storage and self-contained storage systems for lithium and copper mines.
In addition, Jinko ESS completed its dedicated energy storage service center in Lampa, Santiago in December 2025, providing nationwide support for utility-scale standalone energy storage projects across Chile. To date, Jinko’s pipeline of energy storage projects in Chile exceeds 1.6 GWh in total capacity.
Targeting the large-scale PV-storage and mining energy storage clusters concentrated in the northern Atacama region, Sungrow, Trina Energy Storage and BYD Energy Storage have adopted a flexible layout model combining regional headquarters with on-site project service teams.
Trina Energy Storage has assembled exclusive local O&M teams to support gigawatt-scale mining PV-storage projects in northern Chile, which are engineered to withstand high temperatures, dusty mine site conditions and off-grid island power supply operations. Trina’s contracted energy storage capacity under execution in Chile has surpassed 2.5 GWh.
Huawei Digital Energy, a specialist in distributed energy storage, has opted for a lightweight expansion model. It has deployed compact after-sales service outlets in central Chile stocked with spare parts for microgrid storage systems to cater to local demands from commercial and industrial parks, small off-grid lithium mines and grid-connected energy storage facilities.
