The off-take contract will satisfy around 12% of the Collahuasi mine’s power needs.

Sonnedix entered the Chilean electricity market in 2015. Since then, it has accumulated over 400 MW of utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects under development, construction or in operation.

At present, the company is building the 170-MW Sonnedix Atacama Solar park in the commune of Pica in the Atacama Desert.
