Wind PPA sold at renewables auction in Chile

The San Andres wind farm, located in La Araucania, Chile, is expected to enter commercial operation in 2025. Following the successful entry in the Chilean market in May 2021, Portuguese energy company EDPR has now 0.2 GW of secured capacity to be deployed in Chile until 2025. The wind farm will avoid estimated annual emissions of over 90 thousand tons of CO2.

Miguel Stilwell d’Andrade, EDPR CEO, states: "The award we have won in the Chilean renewable auction reflects our commitment to this market as well as to the rest of the Latin American markets in which we are present. It proves our high competitiveness and our ambition to continue growing in the region, which will allow us to keep boosting our global leadership and continue to comply with the roadmap of our Business Plan. We aim to continue strengthening our position in the renewable sector and playing an active role in the energy transition”.
