Cochrane Thermoelectric Plant

Cochrane Thermoelectric plant is a state-of-the-art generation complex with an installed capacity of 550 MW, a substation, a 153 km transmission line, and a 20 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) to support generation in the north of Chile. The thermoelectric plant uses pulverized coal technology, incorporating desulphurization, fabric filters, and selective catalytic reduction systems to control emissions of SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. The complex is positioned as one most efficient of its kind in the country, in terms of emissions per MWh produced. Cochrane started operations in 2016. The remaining ownership is shared between AES Gener, who operates the plant, and Daelim Energy.
