Chile — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 327 energy assets in Chile across 11 layers — the 26th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 282 power plants, 15 cement plants and 9 LNG terminals. Operating generation capacity is 27.8 GW, led by solar at 28%. Refining capacity is about 232 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Colbun SA (19), ENGIE Energía Chile SA (16) and Enel Generación Chile SA (15), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Chile's mapped assets in service predate 2015 (median commissioning year of the 131 with a known date), 64 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is La Calera Cement Plant, dating from 1908. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by H2 Magallanes wind farm (10.0 GW).

Operating generation capacity by fuel

Utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above. Distributed generation — rooftop solar especially — is outside the tracker, so this runs below national installed capacity.
