Last update: 7 hours agoChile Energy & Water: Northern Chile’s grape regions got a rare boost: reservoirs like Recoleta, Cogotí, Culimo and Corrales are at 100% and spilling, while Elqui, Limarí and Choapa watersheds show snow surpluses—potentially easing irrigation pressure after years of restrictions. Mining & Industry: MacLean Engineering signed a five-year tech program with Codelco to test underground mining solutions at El Teniente, targeting safer trench scaling, tunnel development and service infrastructure. Renewables & Grid Resilience: Korkia advanced Chile storage with the Beltrán 750 MWh BESS reaching ready-to-build, and Mellizas (218 MW solar + 800 MWh BESS) securing environmental approval. Biodiversity & Climate Science: A study reports Antarctic soil microbes found nowhere else, challenging the idea that “everything is everywhere.” Extreme Weather Link: Nepal’s deadly floods wiped out about 10% of hydropower capacity, forcing power imports from India and raising alarms about flood-prone hydropower planning.
