There are approximately 8,000 diesel generator sets operating in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, which work as a backup to regulate the demand for energy during peak hours. It is estimated that a similar amount exists in the rest of the country.

The replacement of this equipment in industrial and commercial establishments, especially those that operate mainly with diesel oil, by a technology called BESS "Battery Energy Storage Systems", may bring important benefits. Such benefits are due to the displacement of emissions of local impact air pollutants (particulate matter and gases such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides, among others), global air pollutants (greenhouse gases), as well as a series of other additional benefits, such as those of electricity demand side management strategies.
