THE PROJECT
The Pozo de Almonte Solar Park in Chile is a project that TCI developed for SOLARPACK. This installation was designed to supply 13% of the electricity demand of Compañía Minera Doña Inés de Collahuasi during the day and generate 60,000 MWh of clean energy per year, equivalent to the energy used by 25,000 homes in the same period. In addition, it avoids the annual emission of 50 thousand tons of CO2. It consists of a Photovoltaic Solar Plant, located in the Tarapacá region, which began its construction in 2013. TCI was in charge of the assembly of the structures and photovoltaic modules.
The plant has an installed capacity of 25.6 MW and consists of some 89,906 solar panels, occupying an area of approximately 80 ha. At the time, it was the first solar plant of its size to inject energy into Chile's Norte Grande Interconnected System (SING).
