Elecnor has been awarded the construction of a new wind farm in Chile backed by Mainstream Renewable Power, which will provide clean energy to the national grid in 2021.
Located 50 kilometers from the city of Antofagasta, in a desert and relatively flat area, with heights of between 660 and 800 meters, the Cerro Tigre wind farm will have a power generation capacity of 185 MW.
Elecnor will be responsible for the full execution of the Balance of Plant (BOP), which includes the installation of 44 72 meter-high turbines of 4.2 MW each. In addition, the group will build a new booster substation, a 220 kV transmission line, over 20 kilometers of track, and the rest of the auxiliary civilian infrastructure. The contract also includes the expansion of another existing booster substation by building a 12 kilometer-long transmission line with 220 kV. The works are scheduled for completion in 2021.
