Chile has 19.1 GW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 1,030 tracked facilities, ranking #15 of 222 countries in this atlas.
Solar dominates: 69% of the operating capacity (13.3 GW) comes from solar parks, against 5.8 GW of wind.
The pipeline is substantial: 2.9 GW under construction and 59.1 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 324% of today’s operating fleet.
About 12 GW (63%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2023, with 3.1 GW commissioned.
The largest concentrations are in Antofagasta (6.4 GW), Atacama (4.3 GW), Coquimbo (1.4 GW).
