Chile - SoWiTec and Enel will develop seven wind projects with a capacity of 850 MW

Through its subsidiary Enel Latin America (Chile), Enel Green Power signed an agreement with SoWiTec Renewable Energy Chile Ltda, a subsidiary of German company - SoWiTec International GmbH - to develop seven wind projects in the Andean country. With a total capacity of 850 MW the projects will start in the next few years.

Enel will have exclusive access to several wind energy projects of SoWiTec, and the right to acquire them once they are fully authorized. According to a report, these projects have a preliminary capacity, ranging from 60 MW to 150 MW and are located in areas of high wind potential. Furthermore they will contribute to the Northern Interconnected System (SING) and the Central Interconnected System (SIC) Chile.

Enel, present in Chile since 2001, with the operation of two hydroelectric plants totalling an installed capacity of 90 MW and several concessions geothermal exploration stage, will increase its presence in the renewable energy market in Chile, which is characterized by a great wind potential that will be exploited in the coming years.

Through the years, wind energy has become the source of most attention for SoWiTec members, who expressed their belief that wind power will be essential integral part of future electricity generation, as a clean source and sustainable energy.

With significant knowledge and experience, the group SoWiTec will help to develop this market and catalyze its development.
