Opdenergy inaugurates 50 MW La Estrella wind farm in O’Higgins

Opdenergy has inaugurated the wind farm La Estrella, its first wind asset in Chile located in the area of O’Higgins. The wind farm has a total installed capacity of 50 MW which will produce 100 GWh/year, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of more than 60,000 homes.

The project consists of 11 wind turbines Siemens Gamesa with an individual capacity of 4.5 MW, a height of 127.5 meters, and a 145-meter diameter three-bladed rotor.

Opdenergy sells its energy production to the Chilean electric distributors through long-term PPA contracts, signed after being awarded 176 GWh/year in the Chilean 2016 renewable energy tender, with a combination of wind and solar energy.
