GES to build its largest Chile solar plant
Pattern Energy Group LP ('Pattern Development') has awarded GES the complete BOP for its photovoltaic plant Conejo. The plant is located only 30 kilometres east of Taltal in the Antofagasta Region. The project includes the complete BOP works: PV plant, substation and switching substation construction, as well as the high voltage transmission line of 15km between both substations.
This is the largest solar project GES has ever executed and will be one of the largest solar plants in Chile, where the solar market is developing very fast. The company has recently created an independent photovoltaic division to reinforce its presence in the solar market. “This is the results of the new strategy implemented some months ago to strength our solar business,” said GES CEO Thorsten Kramer.
GES has been a pioneer of the renewable industry in Chile. The company began the construction of its first wind farm back in 2011. This ended up with the establishment of a South America hub in Santiago. GES is still the leading energy service provider for the wind industry in Chile, where the Spanish service provider has constructed 332 MW wind capacity in the last 5 years. With the addition of this 122 MW for the solar activity, GES is becoming the unquestionable leading renewable services provider in the country.
