A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM project3MW Solar Power Project in Chillan, Nuble Region
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The proposed project in Chillan, Nuble Region is a 3MW solar power plant. The project site is
located in the suburbs of Chillan, approximately 400 km south of Santiago, the capital city ofChile. The purpose of this project is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributeto the promotion of renewable energy in Chile. The installation of the photovoltaic (PV) system,
connected to the national grid, can replace a portion of the power generated from thermal power
plants and contribute to a sustainable power supply.
