EIG-Owned Cerro Dominador Inaugurates Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plant in Chile
The CSP plant runs on cutting-edge technology that uses solar energy to heat molten salt, which is then stored in large tanks to be used to generate electricity through a steam turbine.
- The CSP plant runs on cutting-edge technology that uses solar energy to heat molten salt, which is then stored in large tanks to be used to generate electricity through a steam turbine.
- The complex can offset approximately 640,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year and generate enough energy to power approximately 380,000 homes.
- Cerro Dominador owns the Cerro Dominador Solar complex, with 210 MW of capacity, combining a 100 MW photovoltaic plant, and the first solar thermal plant in Latin America with 110 MW of capacity and 17.5 hours of thermal storage.
- With innovation, Cerro Dominador creates renewable energy projects that are flexible, manageable and sustainable.
