The wide range of power generation which comes without HidroAysén
The “vacuum” left by the withdrawal of the draft from Endesa and Colbún, would not be such if it is now consider initiatives are built by 3,426 MW, while 30,000 MW are environmentally approved.
Chile can be practically dark, or be a “vacuum that will be difficult to fill are some of the forecasts were delivered just met last Tuesday the government’s decision to reject HidroAysén, project that woull contribute 2.750 mega watts (MW) to the Central Interconnected System (SIC) since next decade. However, the country’s energy future is as uncertain as some do appear, as the clearest evidence is in the Plan of Works of the Energy Agenda, totaling 3426.4 MW.
Thus, of the 45 construction sites, according to the National Grid Energy Commission (CNE), 31 will start this year, five in 2015, four in 2016, two in 2017 and one in 2018. Moreover, considering the projects that are environmentally approved, would add between SIC and SINO, more than 30,000 MW, so that would not count 2,750 MW to the country’s flagship project, would not constitute a serious situation for the system, if it carries on a small part of these initiatives, which would involve more than $ 60,000 million.
Also, if the projects are in rating system Environmental Impact Assessment (SETA) until May this year are added-according to the latest Northern consultant Systep-to the SIC would be added 4,268 MW (U.S. $ 9,058 million), while to the SING include 2,513 MW, with investments of about U.S. $ 4,300 million.
And that was how the minister of Energy, Máximo Pacheco himself, who stated emphatically that revocation of HidroAysén will not harm the provisions of the CNE. “This project, for purposes of the Plan of Works of the National Energy Commission, represented in the next 10 years, 340 MW, ‘and in the same vein, make sure that his portfolio will take the necessary steps- to effectively this project leave the Plan of Works and be replaced by others, in other locations and with other technologies. “-
Hydro – last
According to type of technologies of projects under construction, until April 2014, according to the Energy Agenda, lead Hydro-Last Projects, because the total (3426.4 MW) account for 29.6%; followed by PV, with 24.3%; ‘Coal, 18.2%; Natural gas (16.6%); Wind (10.6%); Biomass (0.6%); and Diesel, reaching 0.1%. In the SIC they stands Hydro-Last technology with 12 projects, totaling 1014.4 MW; followed by the Solar Photovoltaic with a hundred and in total reach the 443 MW; Wind, five, which total 363 MW. In turn, Biomass, LNG and Coal have only one plan (22 MW, 501 “and (52MW, respectively).
While in the SING the technology that tops the list is solar photovoltaics, with 15 projects, 19 under construction, and which together reach the 72 mega watts. The remaining ones, meanwhile, two are coal (236 MW each), one natural gas (517MW) and one Diesel 1 of 3 MW. –
