Building Energy, has inaugurated the Queule photovoltaic park, located in the Municipality of Las Cabras, in the region of O’Higgins. The plant, realised by Building Energy Andes SpA, a joint venture born from the collaboration with The Scotta Group, an Italian company specialised in the design, construction and installation of hydroelectric power plants and in industrial automation, has an installed capacity of 8,2 MWDC.
The start of the activities was celebrated recently with the inauguration of the solar park, in the presence of the MD Latin America of Building Energy, Daniele Moriconi, and the Ambassador of Italy in Chile, Mauro Battocchi.
The energy produced (16 GWh per year) will be used to meet the energy needs of more than 13,500 families living in the Municipality of Las Cabras, contributing every year to the reduction of 6,450 tonne of CO2 emissions for the benefit of citizens and the surrounding environment. The construction of the photovoltaic park, which began in February 2018 and ended in November 2018, required a total investment of 9.5 million dollars. For the development of the project, which also includes an environmental impact permit, Building Energy Andes has used the financing of the Chilean credit institute Banco Security.
