Opdenergy has received a commercial operation permit from the National Electricity Coordinator for its 104 MW Sol de Los Andes solar photovoltaic project in the Atacama region, Chile.
The 104 MW Sol de Los Andes project consists of 239,000 bifacial PV modules and is located 15 km from the commune of Diego de Almagro. The project is estimated to generate more than 280 GWh/year, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of 35,000 homes, thus avoiding the emission of 108,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere per year.
The solar farm’s first-generation date was achieved at the end of November 2021 after completing the construction works, which has generated more than 340 jobs in the region.
