Wind Farm<br />
MONTE REDONDO<br />
Project: Monte Redondo Wind Farm<br />
Technology: Wind<br />
<strong>ACERA</strong> member company: ENGIE<br />
Installed Power: 48 MW<br />
Region: Coquimbo<br />
Injected Grid: National Electric System<br />
Ten years ago, ENGIE launched the Monte Redondo wind farm,<br />
one of the company's first renewable projects in Chile. This plant<br />
has 19 wind turbines with a capacity of 2 MW, which means<br />
reducing emissions by about 68 thousand tons of CO2 per year,<br />
which is equivalent to removing 15 thousand cars from<br />
circulation. ENGIE continues with its view to renewable energy<br />
development, recently launching a renewable investment plan.<br />
"ENGIE's Renewable Bet"<br />
In October 2019, ENGIE launched the construction phase of its<br />
1,000 MW Renewable Investment Plan, which begins with the first<br />
three projects located in the Antofagasta Region. It is the Calama<br />
Wind Farm, Capricorn Solar Plant, which has already started its<br />
construction, and the Tamaya Solar Plant, whose construction is<br />
planned for the first quarter of <strong>2020</strong>. These first three projects will<br />
have a capacity of approximately 370 MW and will generate about<br />
1,000 direct jobs at peak hiring times.
