Copec is a company dedicated to the distribution of fuels and lubricants, based in Santiago de Chile.<\/p>\n

It recently acquired a 13.5% stake in Ampere Energy, a solar energy company based in Puzol, Valencia.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this operation, the Spanish company will start operating in Chile and Colombia.<\/p>\n

Renewable energies are increasingly being used throughout the world.<\/p>\n

In the current climate situation, these are very important in countries where the pressure to phase out electricity generation from conventional sources is greatest.<\/p>\n

This is the case in countries such as Chile, which is home to less efficient and less polluting plants.<\/p>\n

But things are changing.<\/p>\n

Proof of this is the number of projects being carried out in the country, with clear objectives and deadlines.<\/p>\n

<\/span>COPEC AND AMPERE ENERGY<\/span><\/h2>\n

Copec<\/a> is one of the leading energy companies on the American continent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of December, it became a shareholder in the Spanish company Ampere Energy, a manufacturer and marketer of second-generation energy storage systems.<\/p>\n

The objective is none other than to support the latter's landing and expansion on the American continent.<\/p>\n

There are also plans to offer Chileans the possibility of generating clean energy directly in their homes, storing it and re-injecting the surplus into the electricity system.<\/p>\n

As a result of the operation, Copec has acquired<\/a> el 13,5% of capital<\/strong> of Ampere Energy and enters the home power generation market.<\/p>\n

In addition, he joins its Board of Directors, made up of a team of investors and professionals with an outstanding track record in the energy sector.<\/p>\n

<\/span>INTERNATIONALISATION STRATEGY<\/span><\/h2>\n

Its participation as a shareholder represents an important reinforcement of Ampere Energy's internationalisation strategy.<\/p>\n

The Spanish company has consolidated its position as a leader in southern Europe in the production of batteries and intelligent energy management systems and is making progress in its positioning in other geographical areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a first phase, the agreement between the two organisations envisages the start of activities in Chile and Colombia.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the marketing of the storage systems designed by the Spanish firm could be extended to other countries on the continent.<\/p>\n

<\/span>ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BIG DATA<\/span><\/h2>\n

Its equipment stores energy from both a solar photovoltaic installation and the electricity grid, and is characterised by its high degree of technological innovation.<\/p>\n

In addition, they have software equipped with Artificial Intelligence components and Big Data tools.<\/p>\n

These analyse weather forecasts, user consumption patterns and energy prices to benefit from arbitrage with dynamic tariffs.<\/p>\n

As a result, these systems are able to manage themselves autonomously and optimise self-consumption systems up to 90%.<\/p>\n

<\/span>WHO IS COPEC?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The company was founded in Chile in 1934.<\/p>\n

Today it has operations in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Ecuador and Panama, through its subsidiary Terpel.<\/p>\n

In the United States, meanwhile, under the Mapco brand.<\/p>\n

It has a clear service orientation and a strong innovative vocation.<\/p>\n

It is working to deepen its position as a leader in mobility.<\/p>\n

It does so by incorporating pioneering solutions for all new modes of transport and consumption in the digital age.<\/p>\n

Copec operates in two main areas:<\/p>\n
