Very interesting paper. I wonder if there’s another big lesson about how transmission investments can unlock new lower-cost sources of power? Seems like most places have a transmission bottleneck yet new lines are constrained by regulations (US) or lack of public investment (many emerging markets). Lots of experiments are trying to attract private $ into transmission but it’s not going very well. How did Chile finance that line?

I had the pleasure of studying this Atacama paper under Reguant in Barcelona this past year during my masters program. For those interested, I’ll be posting a blog-safe version of my thesis on the effects of interconnectors (with Europe) and batteries on the UK grid this Friday!
