Chile Energy Overview

Chile is positioning itself as a global leader in solar energy generation and is the world's largest lithium producer.

GDP in 2022 (PPP) was approximately USD 31,300 per capita. Final energy consumption is dominated by industry (72%) and transport.

Chile has set binding targets for net zero GHG emissions by 2050 and aims to peak emissions by 2025. Current policies include energy tax measures and various national strategies for hydrogen, mining, and transportation electrification.

Major infrastructure projects focus on dedicated hydrogen production plants, renewable energy transmission lines, and grid expansions.

Energy consumption in the industrial sector is concentrated in light industries, primarily mining, with plans for steel sector output increases. Chile aims to achieve carbon neutrality in mining by 2040.

In the transport sector, oil use dominates, but plans prioritize electromobility and reducing demand through tax incentives. Chile currently has one of the world's largest electric bus fleets.

The buildings sector relies heavily on oil and bioenergy for heating and cooking. Strategies aim for 100% low-emission heating/cooking in cities by 2040 and net-zero energy use for new buildings.

Chile has significant solar potential and is actively developing hydrogen production capabilities for both domestic use and export, targeting 5 GW and 25 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2025 and 2030 respectively. Investment levels in clean energy supply will increase substantially by 2050, particularly under the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS).

The Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS) follows current policies with modest emission reductions, while the APS includes climate measures driving significant investment in electrification, hydrogen use, and grid expansion. The APS projects a 25% reduction in 2050 final energy consumption compared to STEPS, achieved largely through electrification and energy efficiency.

Chile's energy outlook focuses on leveraging its renewable resources while addressing challenges in decarbonizing energy-intensive industries.
