Chile's goal to achieve 80% renewable grid by 2030 and a 100% zero emissions grid by 2050, will require an estimated 2,000 MW of energy storage every 10 years. Ensuring projects are paid for injecting power into the grid during peak periods has supported growth, and ambitious battery energy. . Chile is rapidly moving to build more power generation capacity, with much of that effort focused on renewable energy resources and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The country as part of that ambition has a goal of producing at least 70% of its electricity from renewable energy by the end of. . Chile will need new renewable energy storage systems to replace its current backup capacity of coal-fired plants and natural gas-powered combined cycle turbines and improve the reliability of the country's electric grid as it pursues new renewable energy generation. Dune Plus is its first entry into battery storage.

A study performed by the European Commission has shown that between 30% and 50% of electricity used for lighting could be saved by investing in energy-efficient lighting systems . In Spain, in some municipalities, the consumption of energy in public lighting reaches up to 80% of the total electricity consumption.
The project is different from conventional street lighting systems not only in the sense that it uses solar energy, but more importantly, it is also a stand alone device that provides for an efficient energy management program that ensures effective maintenance and reduced energy wastage due to malfunctioning lighting controls.
A total 88% of the subjects consider a sustainable and adequate solution to renew the installation of urban lighting, and that the new installation is powered exclusively by PV energy. At first glance, there are no relevant differences considering different segments of ages.
In general, most subjects of all age segments are aware of the problem that means having aerial wiring running at facades (95%) and considers the use of PV in urban lighting sustainable (88%). However, 47% of those surveyed consider that shutdowns due to lack of energy harvesting is problematic and 17% consider this very problematic.
