OUR STORY

oEnergy was born in 2013 with just two people as a family start-up. With two more partners on board, it has transformed into a company with more than 200 collaborators in less than a decade. Now it is positioned as one of the leading actors in the Chilean energy market in the Distributed Energy Resources segment.

2013

oEnergy was born to explore business opportunities in the NCRE market. During its first year, the founding partners studied and evaluated the feasibility of projects of various technologies and sizes.

Collaborators: 2

2014

oEnergy installed its first 30kW Net Billing solar project, cementing its focus on solar technology and small and medium-scale projects.

Collaborators: 4

2015

oEnergy formed a joint venture with the German company Sybac to develop 36MW of solar energy PMGD (Small-scale Distributed Generation). Thus, we positioned ourselves as a developer of this type of project early on in the Chilean market.

Collaborators: 7

2017

oEnergy was awarded the construction of 21 MW in solar PGMDs and created a Construction Company (Constructora oEnergy). Thus, we began our trajectory as EPC experts specializing in this type of project.

Collaborators: 75

2018

oEnergy was awarded the first contracts to operate and maintain 10 PMGD solar plants. The oEnergy subsidiary O&M was set up to provide first-class services with state-of-the-art technology.

Collaborators: 85

2019

oEnergy invested its own venture capital for the development of 300 MW of PMGD projects.

Collaborators: 110

2020

oEnergy signed a joint venture with the German company Blue Elephant Energy to build and operate a 113 MW portfolio of PMGDs. In addition, we secured project financing from the German bank DEG (KFW). oEnergy became, for the first time, an Independent Power Producer (IPP).

Collaborators: 125

2021

oEnergy consolidated its position as an IPP by obtaining senior subordinated financing from the Corporación Interamericana para el Financiamiento de Infraestructura (CIFI, InterAmerican Corporation for Finance and Infrastructure) to build and operate 70MW of self-owned PMGDs.

Collaborators: 135

2022

oEnergy extended its own venture capital to develop 3 GW of large-scale stand- alone BESS projects and 600 MW of hybrid PMGDs (PFV + BESS).

Collaborators: 170

2023

oEnergy inaugurated its first hybrid PMGD project (PFV+BESS) of 1.5 MW//2 MW per hour. Thus, we consolidated our position as one of the leading developers, constructors, and operators in the Chilean PMGD industry.

Collaborators: 200

WHAT WE DO

We participate in every stage of a photovoltaic project, from its start to the commercialization of the asset.

oEnergy is a Chilean company dedicated to developing, constructing, operating, maintaining, and commercializing Distributed Energy Resources.

We have a team of professionals and technicians. They work exclusively on getting the environmental, sectorial, and building permits and processing the interconnected procedures needed to transform a feasible project into one ready to build. All projects are subject to and must pass due diligence. To this end, our team investigate and prospect land and work closely together to comply with all legal and regulatory requirements, meeting the IFC standard.

Development

We are EPC experts specializing in the design, engineering, and procurement of supplies and components for the construction of photovoltaic energy parks. We have more than 80 permanent collaborators deployed in the field for the execution of the works. Their know-how is highly valued in the market.

EPC

We use state-of-the-art technology to operate photovoltaic parks 100% remotely. Our IT team developed our own customized interface for monitoring their electrical variables based on the general-purpose SCADA system (Ignition). In addition, we provide on-site services for the preventative and corrective maintenance of the parks and insurance of the photovoltaic generation assets.

Operation and Maintenance

Our Asset Management team is in charge of the administration and commercialization of the photovoltaic plants in order to maximize income from energy and power sales. We provide accounting, technical, and regulatory advice, being counterparts of the National Electricity Coordinator.
