Gamesa has concluded turnkey construction of its first wind farm in Chile, the 36MW San Pedro Chiloé wind farm, for the local company Transantartic.
The project is located on Chiloé Island, in the southern part of the country. The wind farm features 18 Gamesa G90-2.0MW wind turbines. Construction for the project began in January 2013 and included the development of all necessary civil works and infrastructure for the project, including more than 20 kilometers of roadway, an electrical substation, a 25-kilometer high-voltage transmission line and a bridge. As part of the project, Gamesa will provide comprehensive Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services for the wind farm for a period of 12 years.
