61 wind turbines with a capacity of 183 MW were erected in the
Araucanía region

Figure: Acciona

Located in the Araucanía Region, the new wind farm in charge of the Company Acciona is made up of 61 wind turbines that were mounted on precast reinforced concrete towers. In other words, a construction method unprecedented in the country.

The installed capacity of the new wind power plant is 183 MW, which will be injected directly into the National Electric System (SEN).

According to information from Acciona, this wind farm will produce clean energy for more than 250,000 homes and will annually avoid the emission of 486,000 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere.
