• Located in the Antofagasta region, the Zaldívar Solar Park, co-developed by FreePower Group, will have an installed capacity of 250 MW, along with 250 MW of battery storage. Construction is set to begin in the first half of 2026.

Chile, February 2025. The Environmental Assessment Service (SEA) has granted a favorable Environmental Qualification Resolution for the Zaldívar Solar Park. Co-developed by FreePower Group, this $238 million investment adds to Chile’s growing portfolio of renewable energy projects, reinforcing the country’s transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy system.

The park, to be built in the Antofagasta region, will feature 384,076 solar modules, generating 250 MW of nominal power and 250 MW of battery storage with four hours of autonomy. The energy produced will be injected into the National Electric System (SEN) through a high-voltage transmission line connected to the Nueva Zaldívar Substation. With construction scheduled to begin in early 2026, the project is expected to create around 1,200 jobs at peak activity and will have an estimated lifespan of 35 years.

According to FreePower Group, the project reflects strong teamwork and efficient project management. “We successfully met the timeline set by regulatory authorities, managing the project in record time,” the company stated. Looking ahead, FreePower emphasized that “the next steps include securing sectoral permits and obtaining the necessary electrical concession.”

With this milestone, FreePower Group—a Chilean company with seven years of experience in the design and development of solar, wind, green hydrogen, and energy storage projects—further strengthens its position as a key player in Chile’s renewable energy sector. Committed to excellence and high-quality execution, FreePower delivers competitive and profitable energy solutions, reinforcing its role in the country’s clean energy transition.
