  • A renewable energy generation system of 108 kWp of power will provide renewable energy to a 2400 hectares condominium for 151MWh per year, ensuring the reliability and security of its electrical system.

 

Santiago, May 26, 2022 - Enel X implemented a large-scale project at Hacienda Chacabuco, consisting of photovoltaic panels and electrical infrastructure located in Colina at kilometer 41 of the Los Libertadores Highway. The property includes 2,400 hectares, 1,200 of which are destined for urbanization, while 1,200 will become an ecological reserve.

Enel X's initiative of photovoltaic panels and electrical infrastructure with a backup system focuses on improving energy efficiency and providing residents with renewable energy. "Energy-efficient real estate projects, such as Hacienda Chacabuco, have lower operational costs and establish an awareness of responsible and sustainable energy management use," said Claudio Candia, manager of business and industry at Enel X.

Reducing the carbon footprint is one of the real estate industry's main challenges. To this end, the Hacienda Chacabuco project will save approximately 63 tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to removing nine vehicles from circulation or planting 158 trees.

Nicolás Urrutia, general manager of Inmobiliaria Alcázar S.A., assures that "Chile's real estate sector is betting on implementing more environmentally friendly constructions, with renewable energies focused on providing more sustainable housing." Incorporating renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions in real estate projects will allow more people to access clean energy and live more consciously with the environment.
