Two solar projects completed in January, with a combined capacity of 215 MW, have pushed Chile’s total installed power to around 2.04 GW, according to a report by the National Energy Commission (CNE). If the two new plants inaugurated in January are also considered, newly installed PV capacity in Chile for the past 12 months reached around 1 GW. The government has also been pushing for more renewable energy sources and is looking at ways to expand its use of wind power. Better news came from photovoltaic projects currently under review, with the CNE reporting a slight increase from 7.566 GW to 7.575 GW, while the total volume of all authorised solar projects stood unchanged at 15.62 GW.
