The inaugural event will take place June 30–July 1, 2027, in Antofagasta, bringing together project developers, technology providers, investors, utilities, policymakers, mining companies and large industrial energy users.
As one of Latin America's leading clean energy markets, Chile is experiencing rapid growth in renewable energy, battery energy storage, grid infrastructure and green hydrogen. The smarter E Summit Chile will provide a focused forum for discussing market developments, exploring business opportunities and accelerating projects across the energy value chain.
A key focus of the summit will be the interaction between renewable energy generation, energy storage, grid expansion, green hydrogen and mining. As Chile's most important mining hub, Antofagasta offers direct access to end users with significant energy demand and active decarbonization agendas. Major mining companies are increasingly investing in renewable electricity procurement, fleet electrification, green fuels and low-carbon industrial processes, creating substantial opportunities for energy solution providers and technology innovators.
Green hydrogen will also be part of the event programme. Dedicated sessions under the established Hydrogen Dialogue Latin America brand are planned to bring together hydrogen developers, technology providers, industrial off-takers, investors and policymakers.
The choice of Antofagasta reflects the region's unique position at the center of Chile's energy transition. Located at the gateway to the Atacama Desert, the region combines some of the world's highest solar irradiation levels with a strong concentration of utility-scale renewable energy projects, rapidly growing battery storage deployment, major green hydrogen initiatives and some of the country's largest mining operations.
The smarter E Summit Chile takes place within one of the world's most dynamic energy transition ecosystems. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with stakeholders across the entire value chain, from raw material extraction and component manufacturing to project development, commissioning, operation, and decommissioning. They will gain direct access to investment opportunities and the key decision-makers driving the market forward.
Through expert-led conference sessions and targeted networking opportunities, attendees will gain valuable market insights, connect with key stakeholders and build partnerships that support the next phase of Chile's clean energy transformation.
"Chile is one of the most dynamic energy markets worldwide” said Dr. Florian Wessendorf, Managing Director of Solar Promotion International. “With The smarter E Summit Chile, we are creating a platform that connects the country's rapidly growing renewable energy sector with its globally important mining industry.”
