Abstract



Chile has excellent conditions by having one of the best solar potential worldwide due to the aridness and the high sky clearness index for the energy generation. This potential can be a solution for mining industry which has heavily energy consumer activities in the north of the country and currently both thermal and electricity energy is provided from fossil fuels for these activities. Thermal solar power technologies such as parabolic trough and solar tower are good alternatives to meet the thermal and electricity demand of mining industry. This study focuses on solar incentives as support mechanism with lowest government cost and maximum reduction of levelized cost of electricity. With the research; sensitivity and effectiveness analysis of financial parameters and incentives have been performed. Key findings of this assessment show that for evaluated intervals of financial parameter; debt fraction and discount rate illustrate meaningful sensitivities on both LCOE and government cost. In contrary, debt interest rate shows less sensitivity on government cost while having significant sensitivity on LCOE for both CSP technologies. Also investment tax credit (ITC), production tax credit (PTC), and production base incentive (PBI) have the best effectiveness for all financial conditions.

In recent years, due to the high solar potential of northern Chile with the approximate annual average of Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) of 10 kWh/m2 per day [1], solar energy projects have gain importance. Chilean economy is based on heavily energy consumer mining activities which mostly take place in the north of Chile. It is evident that concentrated solar power (CSP) plants with thermal storage and photovoltaic (PV) technology could have high importance and contribution to have a continuous, sustainable, and clean renewable energy policy in Chile. When solar energy plants are compared to the conventional electricity production facilities, they require incentives and financial facilities due to high investment costs. Tax credit and cash incentives are significantly essential for solar energy projects to make them feasible and able to diminish the gap between the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and the power purchasing agreements (PPA). According to the report of International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in 2015, Chile has regulatory instruments and financial support in order to support solar energy. Regulatory instruments are auctions, quota, certificate system, and net metering: financial supports are dedicated fund, preinvestment support, and direct funding [2]. In order to support renewable energy generation, Chile has 20% electricity generation target from non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE) sources until 2025 [3].
