“We want to capitalise on our combined expertise in power generation and market operations to best serve the market and provide energy to large industrial customers in the country.” Norway's Statkraft has said it will begin work on the $200m, 52 MW Los Lagos hydro plant in Chile in August, scheduled for completion in H2 2022. The project is being built by a consortium of Japanese and South Korean companies, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which also owns Japan's largest power utility, Kansai Electric Power. Statkraft said it is also assessing wind and solar opportunities in Chile, and might participate in forthcoming renewable auctions.
