Sonnedix, the global solar independent power producer (IPP), has completed the construction of one of its largest solar photovoltaic (PV) plants to date: the 170 MW Sonnedix Atacama, located in the Atacama Desert, Chile.
Construction of the solar plant, located in the Atacama Desert in the commune of Pica, began in June 2019. On 30 January 2021, Sonnedix Atacama started injecting energy into the Chilean National Electric System.
“We are extremely proud of the work and dedication put into this project, and thankful to the regional and local administrations for their support”, said Sergio del Campo, Representative Director of Sonnedix Chile. “Sonnedix Atacama will generate around 470 GWh/yr of clean electricity, powering more than 100 000 Chilean homes. In addition to that, this project allows us to fulfil our ‘social citizen’ role through initiatives such as our Atacama Community Investment fund, supporting the economic development of our communities funding
