Description
The project is currently owned by Enel Generacion Chile with a stake of 100%.
It is a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant. The power plant run on dual-fuel. The primary fuel being used to power the plant is natural gas. In case of shortage of natural gas the plant can also run on Diesel. The fuel is procured from GasAtacama S.A..
The project generated 931,870MWh and emitted 1,046,235t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year.
Development status
The project got commissioned in September 1999.
Power purchase agreement
The power generated from the project is sold to Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande under a power purchase agreement.
