In January 2006, new legislation was passed to apply the benefits included in Short Laws I & II (see Recent Developments section below for details) to renewable energy production. The new regulation provided for exemptions in transmission charges for new renewable energy sources (i.e. geothermal, wind, solar, biomass, tidal, small hydropower and cogeneration) below 20 MW of capacity. It also simplified the legal procedures for projects below 9 MW. Previously, besides hydro, no other renewabl
Our photovoltaic power plants, wind farms or home solar systems may be equipped with off-grid systems when purchasing. Then, when the equipment needs to be connected to the power
Our team is available to discuss and answer any questions on the issues raised above and to liaise with our extensive contacts in Chile.
The document is an indicative and visionary way of considering optimal approaches for meeting the demands of the future power system using IBRs. This report was made possible with funding from
Because southern Chile receives prevailing westerlies of the roaring forties and furious fifties, it has some of the most promising wind power potential in the world.
Chile''s National Energy Commission (CNE) has formally opened the call for stakeholders to submit proposals for electricity transmission expansion projects, as well as for distribution
Currently, the Chilean electrical grid is made up of three interconnection systems, which connect the power plants and companies responsible for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
What challenges and opportunities face the Chilean electric system today? Distribution needs and incorporating new technology into the system create new areas for business development.
