Cox Energy Chile holds power supply contracts with 23 Chilean distribution companies totalling 264GWh of power supply per annum.

Under the acquisition, Sonnedix has secured a 20-year off-take agreement starting in 2022, with the option to acquire a 74MW solar project.

Sonnedix will also partner with Cox Energy in managing a portfolio of operating assets. Under the agreement, the initial investment will go towards constructing large-scale facilities in Chile.

Pablo Pulido, global head of development for Sonnedix, said: “This acquisition and its long-term power supply agreement with creditworthy off-takers marks a significant milestone for Sonnedix in Chile. The country has one of the highest solar irradiation profiles in the world and a highly competitive open electricity market. This step is consistent with our commitment in Chile and our long-term strategy to build, own and operate assets in OECD countries.”
