en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Los Portones wind power project, promoted by Engie Chile, has obtained environmental approval in Chile's Los Lagos Region, with a planned investment of $250 million to build a wind farm with an installed capacity of 167.4 MW.

The project will be implemented in the municipalities of Calbuco and Maullín, aiming to strengthen the integration of clean energy into Chile's National Electric System. The project will construct and operate 27 wind turbines, each with a maximum unit capacity of 6.2 MW, totaling an installed capacity of 167.4 MW. Additionally, the project includes a battery energy storage system based on lithium-ion technology to optimize energy management and availability.

To connect to the grid, the project will build a 220 kV transmission line approximately 23 kilometers long, linking the wind farm's step-up substation to the Pargua substation of Sistema de Transmisión Sur S.A. The project aims to generate non-conventional renewable energy using local wind resources and meet the country's growing energy demand by integrating into the national transmission grid.

Infrastructure construction includes building internal access roads and pathways, carrying out earthworks, and setting up temporary construction facilities. Additionally, foundations to support the wind turbines will be constructed, and a step-up substation will be installed to boost the voltage for transmission into the power system.
