About this event
The Chilean O&G market offers exciting opportunities, with state-owned Enap having announced nearly US$3.8bn in investment during 2025-2029. The capital will be disbursed to maintain operational reliability, to increase efficiency and to advance energy diversification efforts, as well as maintenance activities.
Chile has also emerged as one of Latin America’s most advanced green hydrogen markets, driven by bold government targets and
an abundance of renewable resources. In 2020, Chile launched its National Hydrogen Strategy, aiming to produce 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030, with a total of 25GW of expected electrolysis capacity. Thanks to its exceptional solar radiation in the Atacama Desert and strong winds in the Magallanes region, Chile has positioned itself as a potential cost leader market in the global green hydrogen race, targeting production costs of under US$1.5 per kilogram by the end of the decade.
Chile is also one of the leading renewable energy markets in South America, second only to Brazil. Solar power is the dominant source, both in total capacity and number of projects, particularly in the northern regions, which account for over 70% of the country’s solar pipeline. Meanwhile, wind energy features significant projects with larger individual capacities, mainly driven by hydrogen initiatives.
These developments underscore the country’s growing role as a leader not only in renewable power generation, but also in next-generation energy infrastructure across Latin America, offering a wealth of opportunities for the energy supply chain.
We are delighted to be joined by EIC Energy Analysts – Beatriz Corcino and Marco Maedo, who will aim to provide you with an insightful update of the Chilean Energy Market and project updates from EICDataStream. Neil McIntosh, from Aberdeen International Associates (AIA), will also be joining to provide information about EIC’s latest Trade Delegation to Chile in January 2026.
This webinar offers a unique chance to get up to speed with the latest developments in the Chilean energy sector. We’ll explore major trends and changes shaping the project market, followed by an interactive Q&A session where attendees can share their questions and insights.
