Italian energy group Enel said it was the biggest winner in Chile’s latest power tender, securing deals for 1.18TWh that will allow it to advance 242MW of new renewables.

Local unit Enel Generación Chile won 54% of the 2.2TWh procured through the tender, which relates to regulated-market supply in the 2024-43 timeframe.

The tender success paves the way for the Italian group to finance and build 116MW of solar, 93MW of wind and 33MW of geothermal plant, it said in a statement.
