Chile’s National Energy Commission (CNE) has awarded 15-year power supply contracts to SunEdison for solar PV projects totaling 350 MW in the nation’s latest energy supply auction. The company will invest roughly US$700 million in building these projects. While 18 renewable energy projects bid into the supply auction, SunEdison reports that it was the largest winner, with contracts to supply 190 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually to the nation’s Central Grid (SIC) starting in 2016, and another 350 GWh in 2017.
