However, the figure reached 78 GWh in April, representing a drop of 46% compared to last March.<\/p>\n\n
Systep’s May report published <\/a>highlights that the Non-Conventional Renewable Energy discharge recorded its lowest figure in all of 2022, although the year-on-year metric reached 1,220% in April<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n The report indicates that “the largest NCRE source corresponds to the solar contribution which represents 55%<\/strong> (1,271 GWh) followed by the wind contribution with 32% (738 GWh), then the hydro, biomass and geothermal contributions with 6%, 5% and 1% respectively”.<\/p>\n\n Regarding discharge, the document states that “during April 2022, 78 GWh of solar and wind energy was discharged<\/strong>, which reflects a reduction of 46% compared to March 2022 (146 GWh) and an increase of 1,220% compared to April 2021″. <\/p>\n\n In this regard, Systep’s Studies Engineer, Jorge Hurtado, explained that the sustained increase in discharges is mainly due to two reasons:<\/p>\n\n – The first is at the subsystem level, which is related to the capacity limitations of the transmission system <\/strong>to cope with the growing development of renewable solar and wind projects. It is worth noting that according to data<\/a> from the National Energy Commission, from April 2021 to April 2022, approximately 2,200 MW of extra capacity has entered the system (solar and wind).”<\/p>\n\n – “The second reason is of a global nature for the National Electric System, as a result of the operation at the technical minimum of the thermal units<\/strong>, which forces the renewable power plants to reduce their generation by order of the CEN.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renewable energy discharges <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":4909,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-en","category-reporte-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5047"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5588,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5047\/revisions\/5588"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
