San Juan Wind Farm Expansion

Challenge

Latin America Power sought to increase the installed capacity of the San Juan Wind Farm to 258 MW by adding 9 new wind turbines.

Solution

SLR prepared the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) for the 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

The project helped reinforce wind energy generation in Chile, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable energy matrix, with a comprehensive focus on environmental and social protection.
