Based on the flagship project Bidelek Sareak, Basque companies presented their solutions and technological breakthroughs for smart grids to the main players of the Chilean utility sector. The participants also had an opportunity to acquire first-hand knowledge of the local distributors' expectations regarding the deployment of smart grids as well as the Chilean public authorities' ambitious plans for forthcoming years.
Under the Smart Grids Basque Country brand, the Basque Energy Cluster organised a mission to Chile from 10th to 14th July which included nine leading companies in the Basque utility sector: ACLARA, ARTECHE, ELDU, INDRA, INGETEAM, ORMAZABAL, TECNALIA, URIARTE SAFYBOX and ZIV.
During the week the companies had an opportunity to hold meetings with the managers of the main utility distributors in the country (CHILQUINTA, CGE and SAESA), with the main public authorities in the regulatory sphere (Ministry of Energy, National Energy Commission, Superintendence of Electricity and Fuel and National Electrical Coordinator), trade associations of electricity distributing and generating companies (Empresas Eléctricas y Generadoras de Chile) and research bodies such as Anacleto Angelini Center of the Catholic University of Chile. The outcomes were very rewarding for the participants. During the meetings, Basque companies presented their smart grid solution and identified business opportunities with the main Chilean utilities. Moreover, networking during the sessions provided first-hand access to the development plans and challenges of the Chilean energy sector over the forthcoming years, particularly in the smart grid deployment field. Finally, the meetings also served to strengthen the position of Basque companies present on the Chilean market and to present the potential companies forming part of the Smart Grids Basque Country brand can offer to make Chile progress in this field.?
