Installed Power: 115.5 MW<br />
Region: Atacama<br />
Injected Grid: National Electric System<br />
The Cabo Leones I wind farm of Ibereólica Renovables and EDF<br />
Renewables is located in the commune of Freirina, Huasco<br />
province. It has a renewable electricity generation capacity of<br />
approximately 367 GWh per year, sufficient to supply the energy<br />
needs of 175,000 households, avoiding the emission of 350,000<br />
tCO2-eq per year. The park has always developed a permanent<br />
dialogue with communities and committed itself to local<br />
development through a social investment fund that allows the<br />
initiatives of neighboring communities to be realized.<br />
In 2019, Cabo Leones I completed tests that allowed a wind<br />
power plant, for the first time, to participate in the National<br />
Electricity System’s (SEN in Spanish) Secondary Frequency Control<br />
and to provide flexibility to the system.<br />
EDF Renewables is a global leader in renewable energy, with more<br />
than 12 GW of installed capacity in over 20 countries. Its activities<br />
in Chile include the Bolero (146 MW, Antofagasta) and Santiago<br />
Solar (115 MW, RM) photovoltaic plants.
