The Chilean energy Under-Secretary and the President of ACCIONA inaugurate three photovoltaic plants in the region of Atacama
2 December 2021
Chilean Energy Under-Secretary Francisco López and ACCIONA President José Manuel Entrecanales today inaugurated three photovoltaic plants entered into service by ACCIONA Energía at Diego de Almagro (Region of Atacama): the photovoltaic complex consisting of the Malgarida I and II plants and the Almeyda photovoltaic plant. The new installations contribute 300 MWp of emission-free energy to the country.
Malgarida I and Malgarida II entered service in July this year and will generate 654 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity per year, equivalent to the demand of around 280,000 Chilean households, avoiding the emission of around 512,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. For its part, the Almeyda photovoltaic plant was grid connected in December 2019 and now generates 167.5 GWh, equivalent to the demand of around 80,000 households in the country and avoiding the emission of 162,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
