Chile, the land of mines, leads the way in solar energy

        November 7, 2022 El País | Chile | renewables: solar

Chile has passed 20% renewables before its 2025 goal, helped by the 110-MW CSP Cerro Dominador plant with storage. High in the Atacama Desert, Latin America’s first solar thermal plant with 10,600 heliostats enjoys an average solar irradiation about double Spain’s. Solar plants in the north are partly idle because of limited transmission capacity.
