Authorization for the Campos del Sol photovoltaic power plant

Enel Chile and its subsidiary Enel Green Power Chile have officially received authorization from the National Electricity Coordinator to commercially operate their Campos del Sol photovoltaic power plant, which is now one of the largest in the country.

One million installations

For the construction of the park, one million solar panels with bifacial monocrystalline photovoltaic technology were installed, offering increased efficiency that should produce around 1,200 GWh per year injected directly into the national electricity system. This will power around 512,000 Chilean homes and avoid 947,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

A shared success

Fabrizio Barderi, Managing Director of Enel Chile, said: “We congratulate the team that developed this important project and overcame the challenges to make it the largest park of its kind in Chile. The success achieved means that we can continue to diversify our energy matrix based solely on renewable solar, wind, geothermal and hydro-electric sources. We are committed to providing clean energy to the country and its people, and to actively contributing to the national electrification process”.
