Challenge

Eólica Los Lagos needed approval for the construction and operation of a 284 MW wind farm, consisting of 43 wind turbines, in southern Chile.

Solution

SLR developed the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for permanent and temporary mobile works, including:

  • Air quality, noise, vibration and luminosity studies
  • Evaluation of electromagnetic fields
  • Studies in geology, geomorphology, hydrogeology and hydrology
  • Natural risk assessment
  • Research on soil, flora, vegetation and fauna
  • Survey of cultural heritage

Impact

This project represents a key step towards the consolidation of wind energy in southern Chile, with a robust environmental assessment and a commitment to sustainable development.
