The 146MW installation, owned by both EDF EN Chile and Marubeni, sells the energy it produces onto the Chilean spot market. The Bolero plant features a single-axis tracking system by Exosun and NEXTracker, along with solar panels sourced from Jinko and Canadian Solar.
EDF Renewable Services has been active in Chile since 2015, offering full O&M Services and backup services contracts to over 100MW of additional projects.
