San Clemente is a run of the river hydroelectric power plant of 5.5 MW of installed capacity, located in Maule Region, Chile. It supplies the electricity demand of over 4,000 people. The project developer, Colbún S.A., works closely with the neighboring communities to create shared value, promoting education and transferri…

The project generates electricity from a renewable source. Unlike large hydroelectric facilities, Sanatana I, a plant with an installed capacity of 14.75 MW, has virtually no environmental impact. This project uses natural resources efficiently and contributes to sustainable development in Brazil.

The project activity consists in 2 renewable energy generation being: Albano Machado with 3.06 MW of installed power and Rio dos Índios with 8.10 MW of installed Power both Small Hydro Power Plants (SHP`s); located in Trindade do Sul and Nonoai cities in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.

Chacayes run of river hydro project is a 111 MW power plant located in the Cachapoal Valley of Chile. Operating since 2011, it has played an important role meeting country’s increasing demand of electricity, reducing CO2 emissions and contributing to the economic growth and sustainable development of local communities.

Quilleco is a run-of-river hydroelectric plant with an effective installed capacity of 70 MW, which uses the waters of the Laja River Basin to deliver energy to the National Electrical System equivalent to the consumption of more than 162,000 people.

Valdivia uses biomass residues to generate 61 MW of electric power. This project activity assists Chile’s sustainable development by fostering the implementation of distributed power generation, creating additional labor opportunities, and preventing water contamination and forest fires in the region.
