By MB-BigB | January 5, 2008
LatinAmericapress.org reports that Chile, which currently imports 98% of its oil and 75 percent of its natural gas, has opened up its first wind power park in the northern region of Coquimbo. The park, which is the first of four similar projects slated for this region, will provide 18.15 MW of electricity to the Inter- Connected Central System, which supplies almost all of the population. The wind power park consists of 11 turbines.
