Recently, Chile's renewable energy sector has seen a significant investment trend. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), a Danish company, announced that it will advance the Kolrama solar photovoltaic power plant project in Antofagasta, northern Chile, further promoting the development of clean energy in the region.

According to the plan, the project will construct a solar photovoltaic power station with an installed capacity of 420.6 megawatts, which is expected to deliver 300 megawatts of AC power to the Chilean national power system after completion. The total investment of the project is about 500 million US dollars, and it is planned to officially start construction in December 2027.

It is worth mentioning that according to the information released by the Chilean Environmental Assessment System, this photovoltaic project is one of the largest investment projects of the same type submitted for approval this year. This also reflects Chile's continued attractiveness in attracting investment in renewable energy.

The CIP company responsible for the development of this project was established in 2012 and is a global fund management company focused on renewable energy green space projects. As of now, CIP has managed 12 funds, raised approximately 35 billion euros from over 180 institutional investors worldwide, and has 12 offices worldwide with a team size of approximately 600 people. The photovoltaic project in Chile once again demonstrates its active role in international clean energy investment.

With the accelerating global energy transition, Chile is becoming a hot spot for photovoltaic investment due to its excellent lighting conditions and stable policy environment. The promotion of CIP, a large-scale project, will not only help Chile increase the proportion of clean electricity, but also inject important impetus into the optimization of local energy structure and sustainable development.
