Driving LATAM’s energy transition

We are one of the leading renewable energy companies in Chile with operations also in Colombia.

We established our presence in the region in 2008 and today we employ over 130 people here.

Through our gigawatt scale platforms, we are playing an important part in helping Latin America in its energy transition.

In Chile, our 1.4 GW Andes Renovables platform will power the equivalent of one in every six Chilean homes when fully operational, providing new jobs, training and helping to build a long-term sustainable industry in the region.
