     After submitting an environmental impact statement for its planned 862.5MW off grid system wind + solar + energy storage hybrid Parque Terra Energía renewable energy project, AES Gener, a power company based in Santiago, has taken a step towards the development of a huge hybrid renewable energy project in Chile. An important step.

  AES Gener submitted an "Environmental Impact Study" to Chile's environmental assessment service, Chilean Environmental Assessment Agency (SEA), which outlines the details of the proposed project and its possible environmental impact.

    According to the design, the Parque Terra Energía renewable energy project will include 350 MW of wind energy, using 50 7 MW turbines, and 512.5 MW of solar PV, consisting of 1,102,080 double-sided panels installed on trackers. The project will also have two battery storage systems, but little information is provided in this regard.

    The Parque Terra project is located in the Taltal commune in Antofagasta, with an investment of US$750 million (A$1.035 billion) and a service life of 35 years. Construction is expected to start in the second quarter of 2022, and it is expected to be put into operation in the first half of 2024.


    The Parque Terra Energía renewable energy project will join an increasing number of Chilean renewable energy projects, which are helping to promote Chile as a potential hot spot for renewable energy growth. According to data released by the National Energy Commission (CNE) of Chile’s National Energy Commission, the country’s renewable energy production in June was 1,168GWh, accounting for 8.2% of the country’s total monthly power generation.

    At the same time, Chile’s total renewable energy installed capacity climbed to 5901 MW in June, accounting for 24% of the total installed capacity.
