Chile has undeniably positioned itself as a regional leader in solar and wind energy development over the last decade, and the figures ratify the country''s "green seal": 68% of the energy Chile
Santiago, January 10th – Chile achieved a new milestone in December 2024 by generating a record 42% of its electricity from wind and solar, according to global energy think tank Ember.
Construction is expected to require an average of 628 workers, peaking at around 1,200, with between eight and 30 employees during operation. The project is designed for a 43

By 2013, several experimental wind and solar energy projects had been deployed in Chile. Since then, several studies have addressed the national power system through scenario analysis , , .
Chile is a global leader in clean electricity. The environmental objectives that the country has set, such as achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, have provided a key boost to the decarbonisation of its energy matrix. Furthermore, more than 900 MW of energy storage installed have set a benchmark for the energy transition in Latin America.
The development of solar power in the north of Chile will allow the electrification of most of the national demand. The possibility of ammonia and e-fuels projects in the south should be analysed to explore the potential economic and environmental synergy in transporting raw materials and products.
We propose options to accelerate the energy transition that take advantage of the existing infrastructure and exceptional conditions for renewable energy in Chile. The development of solar power in the north of Chile will allow the electrification of most of the national demand.
