Enel Green Power Chile has started construction of the 80 MW Don Humberto solar photovoltaic (PV) farm with a 67 MW collocated battery energy storage system (BESS) in the Metropolitan Region. The project includes the installation of 131,000 bifacial monocrystalline solar panels, each with a capacity of 615 W.
Once completed, Don Humberto will have a net installed capacity of 80 MW and will generate approximately 188 GWh of clean energy per year. This energy will be injected into the National Electrical System (SEN) and will supply electricity to over 80,000 Chilean homes. In addition to providing clean energy, the project will also help to reduce carbon emissions, avoiding over 148,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year.
The development and operation of the Don Humberto plant align with Enel Green Power Chile's policies to create shared value and support local development. Through the use of cutting-edge technology in PV power plants, Don Humberto will improve solar radiation capture, leading to improved and extended energy generation patterns.
