Cox Energy has said it will develop the €240m (US$620 million) 250 MW Parque Fotovoltaico Sol de Vallenar project in Chile after winning approval from the country’s Servicio de Evaluacion Ambiental environmental authority. The Spanish company said it would install almost a million PV modules at the site in the Atacama Desert along with a 220 kV connecting line. Cox made its first move into the solar market by signing a 660 MW power purchase agreement with Spanish distributor Audax earlier this year.
