ACERA´s profile
• ACERA was created in 2003 to promote a regulatory framework in Chile which would allow NCRE* (Non Conventional Renewable Energies) to compete on equal terms with other conventional sources.
• 120+ members, from every NCRE technology, covering the entire renewable energy value chain.
• ACERA represents 71% of NCRE’s current operating capacity, including 90% wind and 91% solar photovoltaic.
• ACERA’s members are building 55% of new NCRE projects
• NCRE are the main source of investment in Chile: • > 3,000 MUS$ to be built as a result of the last tenders.
• > 4,153 MUS$ in projects under construction. • > 8,200 MUS$ in already operating plants.
• As a result of NCRE’s participation in the last tender, final consumers will save over 1,800 MUS$.
• The law goal of 20% NCRE by 2025, will most probably be met by 2019/2020.
• So far this year, NCRE have contributed with 15% of Chile’s generation.
*: Wind, solar, geothermal, biogas/biomass, wave&tidal, hidro below 20MW
[PURA ENERGÍA]
• Represent the NCRE sector before authorities, Congress, public and press, just to mention a few.
• Together with its members, it prepares and disseminates the association’s positions concerning subjects of interest to the sector.
• Promote the relationship among NCRE sector’s companies.
• Represent the sector in energy and sustainability events, in Chile and countries of the region.
• Disseminate the knowledge of NCRE, the transition towards a sustainable energy system.
• Organize technical events of its own, or together with other energy sector entities.
• Organize the Annual Dinner of Renewable Energies. • Sponsorship and dissemination of others’ congresses, seminars and fairs.
• Newsletter ACERA is distributed every month to over 6,500 people in Chile and abroad. • Permanent presence of NCRE on social networking.
• Training on energy for journalists – over 300 journalists have attended ACERA’s Energy Course, from Arica to Puerto Montt.
• Training on energy for authorities and civil society – in 2016 in Arica and Iquique.
• Reception and initial orientation of national and foreign companies interested in the NCRE sector in Chile.

Renewable Energies Development in
Chile and Perspectives
Non-conventional Renewable Energy
NCRE
[PURA ENERGÍA]
• 2008: a percentage of energy coming from NCRE sources must be a part of each PPA. Percentage to grow from 5% in 2015 to 10% in 2024.
• 2015: target percentage was augmented to 20% by year 2025
• If a contract did not meet the percentage in a given year, the generator should pay a charge of approximately 30 US$ for each missing NCRE MWh.
• The developer of a NCRE power plant can sell energy separate from the “NCRE certificate”.
Regulatory Framework
From the first NCRE law to Energía 2050
• Not a dollar has been paid for the charge of failing to meet the
percentage of NCRE
• Everything indicates that it would be possible to reach 20% of NCRE by
2020 or before
[PURA ENERGÍA]
During 2015, through a consultation and participation process, the Chilean government issued Energía 2050 the first long term energy
policy.
Regulatory Framework
From the first NCRE law to Energía 2050
This policy set long term (non-binding) goals
as:
• 2035: At least 60% of electric generation
comes from renewable sources.
• 2050: At least 70% of electric generation
comes from renewable sources.
but things
could move
faster:

Primary energy sources of Chile
Crude oil Coal Biomass / Biogas Natural gas Hydro energy Wind and solar Energy
• 68% of primary sources is fossil and imported
• A high percentage of biomass is wood
Ref: 2015 Energy Balance
[PURA ENERGÍA]
• Low availability of information on energy resources.
• Uncertainty regarding the processing of permits for new technologies.
• Regulatory framework under development (it was just beginning to be outlined in 2004).
• Precarious infrastructure (especially access to some resources).
• Difficulty of access to credit/financing.
• Uncertainty about technological options, costs and performance.
• Few local service providers.
• Need to adapt the operation of the systems to a greater presence of variable sources
• Barriers for non investors whose (main) business is not the generation of electricity.
In the beginning there were barriers… (2004…)
• Few local service providers.
• Need to adapt the operation of the systems to a greater presence of variable sources
• Barriers for non investors whose (main) business is not the generation of electricity.
[PURA ENERGÍA]
– “Stabilized price” for NCRE
– System must purchase total production of NCRE generators under 9 MW.
+ – KFW financing.
– CORFO (Chilean development agency) management.
– Private banks execute.
– Public studies (resource availability, grid impact, etc.)
The answer for small developers: Regulation +
Financing + Information
Ley 19.940
/ 2004
[PURA ENERGÍA]
• Spanish developer
• First to win a competitive power tender for a large customer in Chile
• Installed power 25 MW.
• Financing:
– IADB
– Proparco
– C2F
Grid scale projects financing (2012)

$
New regulation introduce a NCRE charge.
This charge is tradeable and becomes an upside.
Some “early adopters” non-regulated customers contract NCRE energy.
Partial competition:
Tenders for distribution companies demonstrate de highly competitive bids from NCRE.
Open competition in the market
Non-regulated customers of different sizes are attracted by the competitive prices.
2014
2011
2008 - 2011
Market also answered to large NCRE development –
2008 to date
Improvements in the knowledge about the very high potential of NCRE resources
Continuous reduction of LCOE of NCRE technologies

• Different R&D&A initiatives are in place,
supported by public – private.
• All these initiatives are looking for niche
where Chile can get a place as a player.
Goal is not only to increase NCRE generation but
also to create competitive advantages.

• Access to the transmission/distribution
network
• Market risk containment.
• Financing projects in indigenous
communities lands.
• Net metering or net balance?
Gaps and challenges to mobilize investment for
small-scale distributed RE Segments
0 – 100 kW: “residential” generation
100 – 9 MW: Small Generation Plants (PMG / PMGD)
[PURA ENERGÍA]
• Almost 100% of the Chilean thermoelectric power plants will end their technical-economic life before 2050. – No “social license” for new coal capacity.
– Gas based new generation may obtain the “social license, but will the future price be competitive?
Why/how to mobilize investment for grid scale NCRE
generation
• An accelerated decommissioning of fossil fuel based generators is possible: – Negative externalities (emissions) should be priced at a real
price (today, 5 US$/Ton-CO2 2050.
– Cost of the negative externalities must be supported by the generator, without “pass-through” to end customers.
– “Trigger” financing is required for newer technologies in Chile.
– Risk mitigation is required for geothermy.
