About Us
EnfraGen, operating through its subsidiaries, EnfraGen Chile, has over 1,041 MW of capacity in operation and in construction in geographically diverse locations throughout Chile. The Company entered Chile in 2014 and purchased its first power plant in 2015. EnfraGen Chile’s plants play a critical role in the Chilean power grid by providing fast-reacting reliable backup power and reliable and cost-effective renewable energy generation technology through its solar and run-of-river hydroelectric plants.
Our Business
The Company develops and operates backup power plants, run-of-river hydroelectric plants, and solar plants in the Chilean national grid. Our backup power plants are indispensable to the operation and growth of non-conventional renewable power plants, which by their nature are intermittent. Typically, these plants operate in cases of emergencies, draught, or transmission system constraints, thus providing critical support to the national electric grid when it is needed most. Our hydroelectric and solar plants provide clean, reliable, sustainable energy at a competitive price and are strategically located at various injections points to support Chilean national grid.
