The objective is to construct a single CSP plant with an approximate capacity of 50MW in the north of Chile
Activities: (2012 - 2015)
The plan is to construct a single CSP plant in the north of the country. According to the CTF Investment Plan for Chile, tendering for plant construction will be Oct 2012 and the plant should be finished by Aug 2015.
CSP is of particular interest in the northern region of Chile because by using energy storage, it can better meet the particular demand profile of customers on that grid (24 hour flat demand). The plant will reduce the intermittent generation constraints of non conventional renewable energy.

The deployment of this project would allow organizations in the Chilean solar industry to learn and gain capacity in producing and executing solar technologies so they can be scaled up more rapidly in the future. Also, successful implementation of this first-of-a-kind project in Latin America will provide information and proof of viability in a new market, allowing second movers to enter will lower perceived risk and cost of capital."The deployment of this project would allow organizations in the Chilean solar industry to learn and gain capacity in producing and executing solar technologies so they can be scaled up more rapidly in the future.
