Angostura Hydroelectric Project, Chile

The Angosana hydroelectric project, located in the Bio-Bío region 600 km south of Santiago, Chile, consists of a main dam 152 meters long and 63 meters high and a secondary dam 1,600 meters long and 25 meters high. The final element of the project is an underground power plant equipped with three generating units with a total capacity of 316 MW, powered by a basin formed by the confluence of the Bio-Bío and Huequecura rivers.

The projectprovides for an average annual production of approximately 1.5-1.7 GWh of electricity. This hydroelectric power plant plays a crucial role in providing sustainable energy to the region, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and supporting local economic development through the creation of jobs and the increase of energy infrastructure.
