Chile watch: Early-stage power projects, SING metrics
Environmental authorities in Chile's Valparaíso region (V) are scheduled to review two proposed power generation projects on Monday (Dec 14).
Local firm Imelsa is planning the US$43mn, 48MW Doña Carmen dual-fuel backup thermal plant, while fellow Chilean firm Panquehue is developing the US$10mn, 6MW Panquehue solar photovoltaic plant.

Chile admitted 502MW of power generation projects into the SEIA environmental impact evaluation system in November.
Of these, projects corresponding to 472MW are envisioned for the central SIC grid, with the remainder planned for the northern SING grid, according to the latest monthly report from Chile's generators association.
During the same month authorities approved one power generation project, the 9MW Bioenergía de los Ríos biomass-powered cogeneration plant envisioned for the southern city of Valdivia.
The full report, including a list of the projects, can be downloaded in Spanish.

Chile's SING grid was powered by coal (76.6%), natural gas (12.2%), diesel/fuel oil (6%), non-conventional renewable energy (4.6%) and co-generation (0.7%) in November.
These numbers compare, respectively, to 78.2%, 10.3%, 6.89%, 3.42% and 0.75% in the same month a year ago, data from grid operator CDEC-SING shows.
