Stem Inc. (NYSE: STEM) announced that Copec Flux will deploy its PowerTrack Energy Management System at the Granja Solar project in Chile, marking the company's expansion into Latin America's utility-scale hybrid market.

The Granja project involves retrofitting an existing 135 MW photovoltaic facility with a 420 MWh battery energy storage system to create a hybrid solar-plus-storage operation. Stem's PowerTrack system will serve as the master control system for the integrated asset, providing monitoring, controls, and operational oversight.

Copec Flux, the renewable energy subsidiary of Copec S.A., operates as an independent power producer and provides engineering, procurement, construction, and operations and maintenance services. The company will handle local market expertise, delivery capabilities, and operational support for the project.

"Partnering with Copec expands the reach of PowerTrack into key Latin American markets," said Matt Tappin, President of Software at Stem. "Beginning with Granja Solar, we have an opportunity to show how advanced monitoring and controls software can help customers improve visibility, streamline operations, and build a stronger foundation for long-term asset performance."

The hybrid facility will allow Copec to supply energy to Chile's national grid during periods of higher value. Stem's technology will unify data and support operation of the combined solar and storage assets.

Leonardo Ljubetic, Chief Development Officer at Copec, stated that the partnership "combines cutting-edge technology with the local execution and operational expertise of Copec, further strengthening our position as a strategic partner for Chile."

The companies indicated they see potential to extend this delivery model to additional projects in Chile and Colombia as demand grows for integrated solar and storage solutions.
