Abstract: Chile has recently approved a law aiming a target for electricity generation with Non-Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE) of 20% by year 2025. It is anticipated that most of this NCRE generation will be provided by intermittent energy sources: wind and solar photovoltaic (pv). The economic consequences of intermittent NCRE penetration in the Chilean Central Interconnected System (SIC) are assessed. The NCRE penetration is simulated with a 10-year horizon (2017–2027), considering four scenarios of NCRE penetration: 10%, 15%, 20% and 30% of total generation.
