Vestas begins construction of a fully owned wind project for 100 MW in Chile
Vestas has started the construction of a fully owned wind project for 100 MW in Chile, the Talinay Oriente (‘Talinay East’) Wind Power Plant, which will be located in northern Chile in the Limari Province.
This project, which will be constructed with the Vestas 2 MW platform, will at its completion be the largest wind power plant in Chile. The construction of Talinay Oriente starts in Q3 2011 and the project is expected to be finalized in Q1 2012. Once in operation, Talinay Oriente will almost double the wind-power capacity in Chile.
Marcelo Tokman, Vice President, Sales Region South America (excl. Brazil) states: “We believe this is a very good initiative. We are contributing to the internal objectives of raising Vestas’ electricity consumption of clean energy sources and we are supporting the Chilean Government in increasing the country’s energy independence and its share of renewables for the coming years.â€
With this project Vestas is following its two decades ongoing activities in Latin America. Quite recently the Danish company has informed that it will deliver 22 wind energy plants to Nicaragua.
