Through its subsidiary, ENGIE already operates two solar power installations in Chile and is building a third one for a total of 55.3 MW. These successes follow on the 230 MW bid won in November 2015 jointly by its subsidiaires Tractebel Energia and Solairedirect in Brazil and the 40 MW won by Solairedirect in Peru in March.
