Pedro de Valdivia
The planned project, located at Maria Elena in the Antofagasta region, is a 360 MW plant divided in two phases (I and II) which in turn are divided into two 90 MW units. The plant will use parabolic trough technology with thermal storage. The expected generation is up to 2,108 GWh per year.
