Located on Chiloé Island, in the southern part of the country, the project has been developed for the local company Transantartic.
Featuring 18 Gamesa G90-2.0 MW wind turbines, the project construction began in January 2013 and included the development of all necessary civil works and infrastructure for the project.
Work included more than 20km of roadway, an electrical substation, a 25-kilometer high-voltage transmission line and a bridge.
For a period of 12 years, Gamesa will provide comprehensive operations and maintenance (O&M) services for the wind farm, as part of the project.
The company, in addition to Chile, has installed a total of more than 2,000MW of turbines in Latin American countries, including Mexico, Honduras, Argentina, Uruguay and Costa Rica.
Chile would triple its cumulative installed capacity of up to 1.5GW by 2018, according to the most recent wind report by Navigant’s BTM Consult.
