Turbo Energy, a global provider of leading-edge, AI-optimized solar energy storage technologies and solutions, has teamed with Saesa, one of Chile’s largest electric utilities, to expand the deployment of smart battery systems across the Andean country.
This partnership marks a significant step forward in Turbo Energy’s expansion into Latin America, resulting in the completion of the companies’ first joint project— the installation of a smart battery energy storage system (BESS) at the headquarters of Bayas del Sur, a leading berry producer in southern Chile.
The project integrates lithium batteries with 200 kW of power and 880 kWh of storage capacity. Designed to complement Bayas del Sur’s existing photovoltaic installation, the system enables the plant to optimize energy consumption, reduce fuel dependence and maintain operations during peak demand periods or grid outages.
“The commissioning of this project for Bayas del Sur reflects a growing trend among companies across all sectors: the search for effective solutions that ensure stable and sustainable energy flow while mitigating market price volatility,” said Mariano Soria, Chief Executive Officer of Turbo Energy. “Working alongside a utility giant like Saesa gives Turbo Energy a strong foundation to deploy smart BESS solutions for Chile’s most forward-thinking companies — a key driver behind the region’s desired economic decarbonization objectives.”
Saesa executives emphasized the importance of the project in advancing renewable energy and supporting industrial decarbonization in Chile. “Our collaboration with Turbo Energy represents a pivotal advancement in sustainable infrastructure for southern Chile,” said Camila Trujillo, Energy Manager at Saesa Innova. “By integrating intelligent solar storage solutions, we’re not only improving grid reliability for industrial clients like Bayas del Sur, but also reinforcing our commitment to cleaner, smarter energy systems that benefit both businesses and communities across our nation.”
The project with Saesa closely follows Turbo Energy’s entry into the Chilean market. In March 2025, the Company launched Latin America’s first, fully integrated, end-to-end solar energy storage system at the Alto Labranza shopping center, marking the debut of its new business unit, Turbo Energy Solutions. The division focuses on photovoltaic generation, energy storage and smart energy management for the commercial and industrial sectors across Latin America.
