Sungrow, a globally leading PV inverter and energy storage system (ESS) provider, has been selected by Verano Energy, an Independent Power Producer (IPP) with a growing portfolio of renewable energy assets across Latin America, to supply its PowerTitan 2.0 ESS solution for the Observatorio project in Chile.

The agreement includes the deployment of a 152 MW / 606 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) with a four-hour duration, together with a 25-year Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA), reinforcing Sungrow’s commitment to delivering reliable, long-term energy storage solutions for the global energy transition.

The Observatorio project will combine a 135 MW solar photovoltaic plant, equipped with Sungrow SG350HX-20 inverters, with a utility-scale energy storage system that will enable renewable energy to be stored and dispatched during periods of higher demand. This configuration will help strengthen the stability of Chile’s power system and facilitate greater integration of renewable energy sources into the country’s energy mix.

For Verano Energy, Observatorio represents a strategic project within its Chilean portfolio, incorporating energy storage as a key component to maximize the value of renewable generation, address power system flexibility challenges, and continue advancing infrastructure that supports the country’s energy transition.

“Observatorio represents another step in strengthening Verano Energy’s position as a key player in renewable energy generation across the region. The integration of storage allows us to unlock the full potential of our solar resource, provide greater flexibility to the power system, and deliver solutions that meet the needs of a market increasingly focused on renewable energy integration. Having a technology partner such as Sungrow also gives us the confidence to develop a project that meets the highest standards of performance and reliability,” said Tomás Anuch, Chief Operating Officer of Verano Energy.

This project marks a new milestone for Verano Energy and Sungrow, while highlighting the growing importance of energy storage in Chile, one of the most dynamic markets in Latin America for BESS project development. The deployment of large-scale storage solutions enables the optimization of solar energy generation, reduces curtailment, and provides greater flexibility to power system operations.

“We are proud that Verano Energy has entrusted Sungrow with the supply of the energy storage solution for the Observatorio project. This agreement reinforces our commitment to developing high-performance energy infrastructure and accelerating the energy transition in Chile,” said  Gonzalo Feito, Regional Director of Sungrow LATAM.

In addition to supplying the BESS solution, Sungrow will provide a 25-year Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) aimed at ensuring the system’s operational availability, performance, and reliability throughout its entire lifecycle.

Through this agreement, Verano Energy and Sungrow strengthen a partnership focused on the development of next-generation energy infrastructure, contributing to the reliability of Chile’s power system and supporting the transition toward a more sustainable energy matrix.

ChargeZone, India’s largest EV charging network with over 15,000 charging points, and Fresh Bus, a leading all-electric inter-city bus service, announced an expansion of their existing partnership, under which Fresh Bus will deploy an additional 400 all-electric buses on ChargeZone’s charging network.

Under the expanded partnership, the Fresh Bus fleet supported by ChargeZone infrastructure will increase from 100 to 500 buses. The expanded operations will connect 20 cities and cover 17 additional towns across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana over the next 15 months.

To power this expanded fleet, ChargeZone will deploy 30 MW of new charging capacity alongside its existing 10 MW of dedicated infrastructure for the Fresh Bus network, bringing total deployed capacity to 40 MW. This expansion will also contribute to ChargeZone’s broader plan to add 200 MW of charging capacity across its national network. 

At full scale, the partnership is estimated to deliver 100 million units of energy annually, support more than 20,000 passenger journeys per day, and reduce approximately 9,000 to 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year.

Kartikey Hariyani, Founder & CEO of ChargeZone, said: “India’s EV transition will not be driven by personal vehicles alone. Commercial mobility, particularly intercity public transport, can play a critical role in taking electrification to scale because these vehicles operate frequently, travel longer distances and depend on predictable infrastructure. Our partnership with Fresh Bus has shown that when charging capacity, uptime and energy availability are built around the needs of fleet operations, operators can scale electric mobility with greater confidence. This expansion is about taking that proven model to more routes and demonstrating how charging infrastructure can enable intercity public transport to electrify at scale.

Mr. Sudhakar Reddy, Founder of Fresh Bus, said: “When we started Fresh Bus, the biggest question wasn’t whether passengers would choose electric intercity travel, it was whether the charging infrastructure could keep pace with a growing fleet running every day, across every corridor. Our partnership with ChargeZone has answered that question. The reliability of their network is what has allowed us to move from proving the model to scaling it with confidence. Expanding to 500 buses and 40 MW of dedicated charging capacity is not just a fleet decision, it’s a statement that electric intercity travel can be dependable, affordable, and ready for the passengers. This is what public electric mobility in India should look like: comfortable for the commuter, sustainable for the planet, and built to scale.”
