Solar Energy
One of the pillars of our sustainability strategy aims to facilitate people enjoying the potentials of 24/7 solar energy. Here are some examples of what we did in this respect in 2021.
Our values
Replacing firewood by clean energy
We are working in Talca on a program to allow inhabitants of 200 homes to replace firewood by electricity. The government initiative was in the form of a tender in which we participated together with CGE, a power distribution company, that is installing meters and developing the devices to supply electricity. The initiative will begin operation in the winter of 2022.
“Energy tourism route”
After inaugurating our Lookout, we decided to be the engine behind developing a tourism route that will start at our facilities and go as far as the Quillagua Oasis. Creating this route will help consolidate a tourist circuit to rescue the cultural and historic heritage of our desert and show how solar energy is a contribution to the sustainable development of Chile.
Node Project
we participated in the Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation (CTCI) Node Project, an initiative sponsored by the National Agency for Innovation and Development (ANID) of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation of Chile. It was implemented by the Scientific-Technological Park Foundation of the Catholic University of the North (UCN), to develop sustainable energy alternatives for the mining industry in the regions of Arica and Parinacota, Tarapacá, Antofagasta and Atacama.
