The Environmental Assessment Commission of the Magallanes Region unanimously approved the project “Parque Eólico Faro del Sur”, Faro del Sur Wind Farm in pre - construction in Río Verde, a Chilean commune and settlement in Magallanes Province and Region, located in the area surrounding Seno Skyring, a sea inlet north of Riesco Island.
This environmental assessment process, which began in December 2023, included a series of technical afjustements and improvements in waste management, as well as bird protection measures with citizens participation.
The approbation of Faro del Sur project also allowed the integration of the wind farm with the future Cabo Negro e – fuels plant.
This energy project powered by HIF Chile and Enel Green Power, is the first wind generation complex in southern Chile with an investment of close to US$500 million.
The park will have a capacity of 372 MW, becoming an engine for the green hydrogen revolution in Chile generating renewable energy to produce carbon - neutral fuels (e – fuels).
The project includes 64 three - bladed wind turbines, each with a total height of 200 metres (115 metres tower and 170 metres rotor diameter).
The infrastructure includes a 33 kV to 66 kV step - up substation, an underground transmission line of approximately 12.274 kilometres and a step – down substation to bring power to the e - Fuels plant.
The approbation of Faro del Sur project also allowed the integration of the wind farm with the future Cabo Negro e – fuels plant.
The Regional Secretary of the Environment, Enrique Rebolledo Toro said that this project represents a structural change in the regional energy matrix, promoting the Green Hydrogen Action Plan to 2030.
