DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, is pleased to share that MYTILINEOS S.A. has successfully closed financing with a group of lenders, including BNP Paribas, Intesa San Paolo, SMBC, Rabobank, and Santander Chile.

DNV  served as a market advisor in this financing deal for a portfolio of solar farms including the Willka, Doña Antonia, Tocopilla, and Tamarico projects in Chile, totaling 588 MWp.

Chilean Solar market

Chile, known for its solar potential and commitment to decarbonization, is a promising solar and storage power market. The projects are at different construction stages, with Willka already operational, Doña Antonia set to be energized in February 2024, and Tocopilla and Tamarico under construction.

Once operational, these solar power plants are expected to generate around 1.6 TWh of green electricity annually, reducing over 1 million tons of CO2 emissions yearly. Enel Chile has committed to purchasing most of the power produced through 10-year Power Purchase Agreements.

"DNV remains committed to supporting the energy transition and facilitating the growth of renewable energy projects worldwide, using our knowledge and experience to drive the realization of ambitious decarbonization goals.”

Reduced energy consumption

In its latest Energy Transition Outlook, DNV forecasts that the share of renewables will expand to 82% of the global energy mix by 2050.

Economics plays a pivotal role in this shift towards renewables: solar, with its dwindling levelized costs, will command a 39% share in the 2050 global power mix, with an appeal enhanced by the cost reduction of storage solutions allowing energy consumption after sunset.
