Atlas Renewable Energy Leaps into Wind Power Market with Enel Generación

Atlas Renewable Energy (Atlas) marks a new milestone with the development of its first wind power project with a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Enel Generación Chile S.A. for 1.3 GWh/year.

The portfolio's three wind projects total 417 MW throughout Chile, helping accelerate its clean energy transition.

"Our first wind energy project solidifies our position as a company capable of developing different renewable technologies and adapting to the needs of customers in multiple markets across the globe," said Alfredo Solar, general manager of Atlas Renewable Energy in Chile.

Enel Generación Chile Trading and Commercialization Manager, Alfredo Hott, said: "With this agreement, Enel complements its renewable energy portfolio with additional wind power to offer its customers clean and competitive energy, in line with the contribution that the company is making to promote the country's energy transition."

Atlas' Alpaca Portfolio consists of three wind projects that are set to begin operation in 2025. They will be located in the Araucania, Los Lagos and Maule regions of Chile.

"We are very proud to expand our work to the south of the country. Atlas already has a presence in Antofagasta, Atacama, and the Metropolitan Region. But with these projects, we'll expand into Chile's south and establish a presence in six regions of the country," Solar said.

With the signing of this PPA, Atlas solidifies itself as the preferred partner for large-scale utilities in Latin America to procure clean, renewable energy.

Previously, Atlas signed a similar PPA with Engie to develop Sol del Desierto, a solar plant located in Chile's Atacama desert, which recently began operations.
