Repsol has begun generating electricity at Antofagasta Phase 1 , its largest wind farm to date and one of the largest in Chile. This complex is located in the municipality of Taltal, Antofagasta Region, and has an installed capacity of 364 megawatts.
Antofagasta Wind Farm Phase 1
With an investment of nearly €400 million, the wind farm was built within 19 months and is close to entering commercial operation. The facility has an estimated annual output of 750 gigawatt-hours, enough capacity to supply the average consumption of some 220,000 homes in the South American country.
Unlike previous projects operated jointly with Ibereólica Renovables, such as Cabo Leones III and Atacama , this new facility is 100% owned by the company.
In addition, the company plans to build Phase 2 of the wind farm in the same region. This phase will add approximately 450 MW to its renewable asset portfolio, reaffirming Repsol ‘s commitment to decarbonization and energy diversification.
The launch of this wind farm is aligned with Repsol ‘s strategic plan to lead the generation of energy from sustainable sources. The company currently has approximately 4,000 MW of renewable energy in operation and is developing a global project portfolio exceeding 60,000 MW.
This commitment is reflected in the consolidation of its presence in Latin America, where the Antofagasta region is emerging as one of the most active hubs in the energy transition, due to its natural conditions and the growing demand for green energy.
The Antofagasta Phase 1 project represents a breakthrough in infrastructure and a testament to Repsol’s commitment to a sustainable energy model. With 364 MW in operation and ongoing expansion, the company is positioning itself as a key player in the drive for renewable energy in Chile and the rest of the continent.
