4 Introduction With this Solar Facts & Figures Chile report, Solarplaza provides an overview of Chile s energy challenges, the solar energy market opportunities, and all required basic information to start business in this flourishing country. As the economy continues to grow, Chile s electricity demand is anticipating growth as well. Currently, it primarily relies on conventional energy sources: 92% of the electricity generated in Chile is derived from large hydroelectric power plants and fossil fuels. By 2025, the Chilean government desires to have 20% of their energy produced by renewables. We discuss the market in the following way: First, we summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the Chilean solar PV market. Next, Section 2 provides essential information from the market in Chile, such as economic trivia, the energy mix, and projects currently under construction. Section 3 continues with a description of the regulatory framework and a list of key institutions to become acquainted with before entering the Chilean market. Section 4 discusses the developments in the SIC and SING transmission lines. Finally, Section 5 distinguishes the opportunities in distinctive solar PV segments, such as residential, solar/diesel, and merchant financing. Summary Strength and Weaknesses Strength & Opportunites High irradiation levels: Regions in northern Chile have some of the world s highest irradiation levels, with average daily Global Horizontal Irradiance at kwh/m2. Moderate to high electricity prices, among the highest in Latin America. Net-Billing since 2014 opened potential for residential sector. The SIC-SING transmission line, planned to connect the two major grids in the country in 2017, will open sizeable untapped market potential. Chile is home to the world s largest copper and iodine mines. Solar leads to substantial cost savings for this sector. Weaknesses & Challenges No interconnection yet between the SING and SIC grid. This creates an issue due to the discrepancy between solar project potential (SING) and level of energy consumption (SIC) Questions arise about the technical issues concerning maximum solar grid penetration. How much peak load can be supplied by solar in the electricity grid, and will this limitation be tackled? Recently, local banks have entered the energy market as permanent partners. However, it is still difficult to find financing for 9-20 MWp projects, since the amount of work is equal to larger projects. 4
5 2. Facts and Figures Economic figures Chile has a market-oriented economy characterized by a high level of foreign trade and a reputation for strong financial institutions and sound policy that have given it the strongest sovereign bond rating in South America. Copper alone provides 19% of government revenue. From 2003 through 2013, real growth averaged almost 5% per year. In May 2010, Chile became the first South American country to join the OECD, and it has 22 trade agreements covering 60 countries. Economic Figures Population 17,363,894 (July 2014 est.)

7 Biggest solar PV projects in Chile In 2014, the Chilean solar market flourished as developers in the region witnessed many of their large-scale solar PV constructions become installed and connected to the grid. With a record-setting first quarter of 2015, Chile is evolving into a world-class player in terms of cumulative installations.

Biggest announced solar PV projects in Chile Etrion/Total/ Solventus/ SunPower Atacama 2015 We compiled a list of projects from official sources at the Comisión Nacional de Energía de Chile. This enabled us to identify projects currently under construction with government approval, as it is highly unlikely that the entirety of the current pipeline of 16 GWp will be installed. The first quarter of 2015 has already been record-setting, but even more projects coming down the pipeline this year can be anticipated.

10 3. Legal challenges and opportunities Government policy to encourage renewable energy An Energy Agenda has been published by the government in 2014, which envisages a series of actions and measures aimed at unlocking investment in the electricity industry and improve its operation. It revolves around the following core ideas and goals: Boost the development of Non Conventional Renewable Energy to fulfill the 20% goal for 2025 Develop an Energy Development Strategy in 2015 (for 2035 and 2050) validated by the Chilean society Allow NCRE facilities < 20 MWp to sell output at spot market without tolls to transmission companies Allow net billing for PV systems under 100 kwp (Since 2014, see Section 5) Carry out an annual public tender for renewables Increase investments to improve the transmission system Reduce marginal electricity costs and promote energy efficiency Improve land management and encourage active civic engagement Institutions Regulatory 10 Ministerio de Energía Ministry in charge of planning and coordinating the energy policies for the development and functioning of the energy system; supervising the compliance with the energy regulations, and assisting the government in all matters pertaining to the energy sector. CIFES is the institution within the ministry that strengthens the efforts of Chile to develop NCRE. It is supported by CORFO, the institution improving Chile s competitiveness by encouraging investment, innovation and entrepreneurship, La Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC) Supervises the compliance with the laws and regulations on generation, production, storage, transport and distribution of fuels (liquids, gas and electricity), and it controls the quality of services provided to final customers. La Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE) The technical public entity in charge of reviewing the tariffs and technical rules to which all energy business concerned shall be subject (including generation, transport and distribution of energy), with the purpose of securing that the services are sufficient, reliable and affordable. CDEC-SIC and CDEC-SING Two private economic dispatch centres, which are independent, primarily technical entities, composed by representatives from the Chilean generator companies to discuss, regulate and coordinate operations and economic transactions. Also they determine the marginal costs of electricity. The Panel of Experts Professional experts with limited powers whose function is to resolve through binding rulings any disagreement or conflict.

Also, the Environmental, Planning, and Municipality law may demand that an authorisation is obtained. With respect to interconnection of generation to the transmission grid, subject to a toll payment to the the transmission company. With respect to rates and terms in the distribution and sales of power, Chilean law distinguishes three different types of power sales: power sale in the spot market that is determined in accordance with the marginal costs of energy and the capacity price; direct negotiation contract, for high-use consumers (with an energy demand exceeding 2,000kW) the rate and terms can be freely negotiated; and regulated contracts. Obligations for foreign companies To obtain an electricity concession, the foreign body must do so via a subsidiary incorporated in Chile. The electricity concession is preferable as it legally grants the right of way and facilitates the work of establishing and developing the power project. To acquire an equity interest in a Chilean electricity company, no specific requirement is needed. It will have to comply with the general regulation as any other company in Chile, whether local or foreign. 11
12 4. Interconnection SING and SIC Existing Transmission lines: 12
13 There are 4 electricity systems in Chile: The Northern Interconnected System (SING), is a major system that supplies the northern zone of Chile represents 28 % of Chile s installed capacity; The Central Interconnected System (SIC), is a major system that supplies the central zone of Chile represents 71 % of Chile s installed capacity; The Aysén electricity system and Magallenes electricity system, consists of medium-sized systems located in the southern zone of the country whose joint capacity represents 1 % of Chile s installed capacity. Plans to interconnect SING to SIC In 2014, the government announced that studies and promotion will be done to the interconnection option between SING and SIC. This will allow transferring the surpluses produced in the northern part of Chile to its central zones. President Michelle Bachelet announced the goal to realize the interconnection in June 2017, one year earlier than was originally planned. The Minister of Energy, Maximo Pacheco, reported that after a series of analyzes concluded that the best alternative to interconnect the systems would line Transmisora Eléctrica del Norte (TEN), developed by E-CL, the principal electricity generator in the north of Chile. The transmission line In 2014, E-CL acquired TEN for $ 13.7 million from E.CL s main shareholder, GDF Suez Energy Andino, for the purpose of developing a double circuit, 500 kv, an alternative current transmission line connecting Mejillones (SING) to Copiapó (SIC). Total CAPEX of the project is estimated at $ 721 million, E-CL plans to engage a partner to take a 50% stake in the project. The transmission line will open sizeable untapped markets for E-CL. It is a private initiative with potential to become a trunk line. Two additional lines in alternating current were also recommended by minister Pacheco. The first one will have a length of 3 kilometers and go from Kapatur to Los Changos substation, also located in the vicinity of Mejillones. The second, 140 km, will go from Los Changos to Nueva Crucero Encuentro (near Tocopilla). Both consider an investment of around $ 200 million. Minister Pacheco said these initiatives will be tendered in a process that will take place this year. 13
14 5. Business case for Chilean solar projects Merchant Solar A major trend visible in the Chilean projects is the choice for merchant solar constructions, instead of PPA s. Merchant solar is typically financed by investors and sold into competitive wholesale markets at the prevailing spot price, making the project more volatile to volume and price risks. The Chilean region is able to offer solar PV on the spot market thanks to a combination of rising demand, high spot prices in parts of the grid, open spaces, and having the highest insolation rates in the entire world. A general factor is the overall decline of solar power s cost. Furthermore, solar power has been said to be in synch with the spot market because the period of peak production coincides with some points of peak demand. This trend demonstrates the future potential and competitive advantage of solar PV over other traditional energy sources in the region. Largest existing merchant installations: Name Size (MWp) Developer Region Maria Elena 72.8 SunEdison Antofagasta Project Salvador 70 Etron/ Total/ Solventus/ SunPower Atacama San Adrés 50.7 SunEdison Atacama Solar / Diesel - Renewables and Mining The global demand for copper is increasing, and so is the need for power at Chilean mines. Mines are naturally interested in having lower operation and maintenance costs, where energy can be between 15-40% of its operating budget. Chile imports most of its fossil fuels and pays the highest power rates in Latin America. Five years of drought have depleted reservoirs at hydroelectric dams, making Chile more dependent on solar and diesel to run electricity plants. As explained under the Merchant Solar section, renewable energy in the remote and sunniest Atacama desert is now cheaper than electricity sold on the spot market. 14 Two challenges to tackle at the moment are the intermittency problem and the mismatch between the life of the mine and the number of years necessary for developers to recoup their capital investments. Firstly, a mine does not stop running at night, and so it needs a constant, firm source of power. Many experts believe that improvements within Solar / Diesel and storage technology are helping alleviate the intermittency problem. Secondly, solar plants typically target a 20-to-25 year PPA and that s usually a far lengthier time horizon than mining companies are willing or able to commit to.
15 However, the potential cost savings are too great to ignore. LCOE value for solar in Santiago ranges between 9 and 18 a kwh. In Northern regions with higher irradiance values, this LCOE is even substantially lower. These values are very close or even significantly lower than the actual electricity retail price of around 16 a kwh (Cáceres et al, 2014). Largest existing Solar / Diesel projects: Name project Size (MWp) Mine % of electricity demand mine Developer Amanecer 100 Grupo CAP (Iron ore) 15% SunEdison Pozo Almonte 25 Javiera 69.5 Doña Inés de Collahuasi (copper) Los Pelambres Antofagasta (copper) Residential and Commercial scale solar 13% Solarpack 10% SunEdison Due to grid overload issues, market potential in the utility scale sector is not fully guaranteed. However, thanks to high electricity prices, irradiation values and the net-billing law, the market has a great potential to move on to projects <10 MWp in Central Chile. Tariff rates Chile has moderate to high electricity rates, among the highest in Latin America. To access detailed information on electricity rates in Chile, please have a look at the website of the CNE. Net-Billing Since October 2014, owners of PV systems under 100 kwp will be paid for surplus electricity, which will be sold to the country s national grid for approximately 50% of the fixed net tariff. The law for small-scale residential and commercial generators was promulgated in March 2012 but its implementation was delayed by modifications concerning safety and other rules for connection to the grid. The law is greatly beneficial to residential and commercial PV plant owners. The authorization of the SEC is required for all PV installations to participate. SMA was the first inverter supplier to qualify for the scheme in November, which will enable the company to offer its Chilean clients its range of inverters. In a recent study, David Watts (2015) found payback periods for residential systems in Chile to be low, between 6 years in northern areas and 13 years in other areas (with lower radiation and retail rates). 15
16 Financing at different scales We noticed from our conversations with experienced agents in the Chilean market, that it does not take much time to arrange financing for and install a small project (< 3 MWp). For 9-20 MWp projects, it becomes difficult to arrange financing, because the amount of work is equal to a much larger scale project. However, there is plenty of potential in this segment of the market. For large-scale projects most financial arrangements have been provided by international development banks such as OPIC, and the IFC. The IADB has also been very active and has the potential to surpass the other two in Recently, local banks have also entered the energy market as permanent partners. For example, the 69.5 MWp Javiera plant has been financed by CorpBanca and BBVA. Finally, in its 2014 Energy Agenda, the Ministerio de Energía has committed itself to allow annual tender processes for solar photovoltaic and other NCRE generation projects. The next one can be expected at the end of 2015, which opens enough opportunities to win rights to supply energy to the grid at a fixed price per MWh. 16
