Miami-based Atlas Renewable Energy, a developer of solar projects in Latin America, is expanding into the wind market.
Atlas said it entered into its first long-term wind power purchase agreement, contracting with Enel for 1.3 TWh per year to be generated by a 417 MW project portfolio in Chile.
The wind portfolio features three projects that are expected to reach operation in 2025. The projects will be located in the Araucania, Los Lagos and Maule regions of Chile.
"Our first wind energy project solidifies our position as a company capable of developing different renewable technologies and adapting to the needs of customers in multiple markets across the globe," said Alfredo Solar, general manager of Atlas Renewable Energy in Chile.
Atlas has developed more than 400 MW of utility-scale solar projects in Chile.
The company's most recent project, the 230 MW Sol del Desierto Solar Plant was commissioned in March. Engie signed a 15-year power purchase agreement for the energy generated by the project.
