Chile: Chilean environmental evaluation service SEA has received an environmental impact declaration for a solar photovoltaic park with a planned capacity of 227.46 MWp.
The solar park is to be implemented in the Chilean region of Antofagasta.
The plan is to invest $170 M (€153 M) to install the Planta Fotovoltaica Tocopilla in the community of Maria Elena, Tocopilla province. Based on the submitted data, it looks like the developer of the project is a unit of Spanish renewable energy company Eosol.
Comprised of 568,650 solar modules supplied by Canadian Solar Inc, the PV facility is expected to break ground in February 2021.
The project also includes the construction of a new substation named SE Tocopilla, which will be located within the area of the PV plant, and the 9.2 km (5.7 mi) LAT Tocopilla transmission line.
