SANTIAGO, Chile, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Energy Year Summit Chile kicked off on March 19th, 2025, in Santiago, Chile. On the second day of the summit, CLOU Electronics successfully hosted the first stop of its 2025 CLOU BESS tour. As Chile advances its energy transition—surpassing 40% renewable generation in 2024—BESS has become essential for grid stability and efficiency, especially following the recent nationwide blackout caused primarily by transmission system failures.
The CLOU BESS Tour featured a workshop and underscored CLOU’s commitment to advancing the energy transition and meeting the growing demand for sustainable solutions. The workshop brought together industry leaders from various sectors, including investors, developers, project owners, system integrators, and service providers. Guest speakers from Innergex and Transelec shared their experiences and insights, enriching the discussion on Chile’s market outlook and future opportunities.
Songyu He, General Manager of CLOU Overseas, attended the event. During the event, CLOU announced the appointment of Alejandro Mc Donough as General Manager for CLOU’s Latin America business. Additionally, Jeffrey Tu, Senior Director of CLOU Latin America, delivered a speech titled “Why CLOU – as a Relevant Player in Future Opportunities of Chile’s Energy Storage,” emphasizing CLOU’s strengths, innovative products, and localized services that support Chile’s shift towards reliable clean energy.
Carlos Gallardo, Senior Application Engineer of CLOU, introduced the Aqua-C2.5 utility-scale energy storage system, a cutting-edge innovation with a large 314LFP battery cell capacity. Available in both High Voltage Box and String PCS versions, the Aqua-C2.5 combines long battery modules in a compact 20-ft container, achieving a nominal capacity of over 5MWh and significantly enhancing power density.
CLOU’s dedication to Latin America’s renewable energy sector is reflected not only through innovative products but also through comprehensive customer support across the entire project lifecycle. As highlighted by Leonardo Giangrandi from Ingenova, CLOU’s service portfolio ranges from pre-sales consulting to installation and after-sales support, ensuring localized, professional solutions tailored to the region’s unique needs.
As Latin America continues to pursue a national goal of generating 80% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030, CLOU Electronics remains committed to delivering sustainable energy solutions that address both current and long-term environmental challenges, empowering the region’s transition to a cleaner and more reliable energy future.
