A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM project3MW Solar Power Project Utilizing Farmland in Valparaiso Region
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The proposed project aims to introduce (i) a 3MW solar power plant at farmland in Valparaiso
Region and (ii) a 20kW agrivoltaic pilot facility at an experimental farm in Maule Region forthe purpose of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promoting renewable energy
and agrivoltaics in Chile. Both of the solar photovoltaic systems are connected to the national
grid and can replace a portion of the power generated from thermal power plants.
*Agrivoltaics: Utilization of the same land area for both agriculture and solar photovoltaic
electricity generation
