Print this page

Chile: Chile's environmental authorities have approved a plan of Cemento Polpaico for the construction of a 23.5MW photovoltaic (PV) park as part of the country's power grid.

The approval envisages the installation of 243,120 modules near Cemento Polpaico's Cerro Blanco plant in Tiltil, Chacabuco. The solar facility will require an initial investment of US$42m and its energy will be injected into the grid through the existing interconnection with the Punta Peuco substation. The annual output is estimated at 44GWh. The company will need around 112 workers during the construction phase, which could start at the end of April 2016, and up to 10 workers during operation.
