Deep Wind Offshore has applied for an area lease to construct one floating and one bottom-fixed wind farm offshore the Chilean coastline.
Chile’s government aims to have 60% of the country’s electricity generated from renewable sources by 2030, with annual electricity offtake set to be about 65% higher than in 2021.
Deep Wind Offshore said its planned offshore wind projects would be managed and operated locally, with a focus on creating local jobs, working with local suppliers and engaging with the fishing industry.
