Wind farm – Chile

About the project

The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) ID 973 The project activity involves a wind farm in the Coquimbo Region of Chile. The wind farm consists of 23 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 46 MW. The project activity generates renewable energy for the Central Interconnected Electricity System (SIC). The project will directly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by thermal power plants using fossil fuels currently in operation in Chile and connected to the same grid (SIC). With an expected annual production of 103 GWh, the project activity will reduce emissions by 56,740 tonnes of CO2 per year. Location: Coquimbo, Chile Type of project: Renewable energy Mitigation potential: 56.740 tCO2e annually
