Paine January 20, 2025 - Enel X has launched a 1.15 MWp photovoltaic solar park at the facilities of the agri-food company Champiñones Abrantes in the municipality of Paine. This sizeable solar platform will enable the company to generate up to 30% of its annual energy consumption, resulting in an estimated annual energy production of 1,964 MWh.
Enel X, in collaboration with its strategic partner Solcor, has developed and implemented a photovoltaic system featuring 1,728 high-efficiency panels, each with a capacity of 665 Wp. This system integrates with three inverters that provide a total output power of 900 kW. The project encompassed engineering, SEC procedures, supply, implementation, commissioning of the electrical integration system with the existing plant, and maintenance services.
"In Chile, the agribusiness sector plays a significant role across all regions of the country. It is vital to the economy and contributes greatly to job creation. We share the vision of Champiñones Abrantes in incorporating renewable energy attributes into its processes. This initiative encourages the entire food sector to adopt technologies that improve operations through clean solutions. These solutions not only streamline costs and reduce CO2 emissions but are also accessible today through green energy contracts", said Claudio Candia, Enel X Industries manager. He emphasized the positive and beneficial impact of these initiatives on the environment, communities, and the production processes of companies.
The project developed by Enel X in Abrantes is one of the most significant initiatives undertaken in the agro-industrial sector to date. It contributes to the establishment of cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable operations within this vital industry for the country.
