The Punta Sierra wind farm in Ovalle, in Coquimbo Region of Chile is ready to generate clean and renewable energy. It is the first Pacific Hydro wind farm in the country and the first wind farm financed by China State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) in the South American country.
The wind farm has 32 Goldwind turbines of 2.55 MW, with an installed capacity of 82 MW, and will generate about 282 GWh/year. The energy generated by the project could supply clean and silent fuel to half of the current Transantiago fleet, that is, 3,000 buses per year. The wind farm will contribute to reducing the country’s greenhouse gases, since it will offset 100 thousand tons of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to removing approximately 40 thousand cars of circulation. The wind farm will also supply energy equivalent to 130,000 homes per year.
The project involved an investment of US$ 140 million.
