CERRO DOMINADOR<br />
SOLAR COMPLEX<br />
Technology: CSP in construction, plus PhV in commercial<br />
operation<br />
<strong>ACERA</strong> Member Company: Cerro Dominador<br />
Installed Power: 210 MW<br />
Region: Antofagasta<br />
Injected Grid: National Electric System<br />
In <strong>2020</strong> the Cerro Dominador solar complex completed two new<br />
and relevant milestones: the lifting of the receiver and the<br />
completion of the salt casting process. The first was a unique<br />
engineering maneuver in the world, climbing the receiver inside<br />
the 220-meter-high tower. In the case of salt fusion, there were 46<br />
thousand tons of salts from the Atacama Desert. This thermal salt<br />
storage system allows the solar thermal plant to produce 24/7<br />
energy.<br />
The Cerro Dominador complex combines a photovoltaic plant<br />
(100 MW) and a solar power concentration plant (110MW), the first<br />
of its kind in Latin America.
