In 2013 the Atacama 1 solar complex was proposed as a 110 MW electric plant (the first in Latin America) and a 100 MW photovoltaic plant. The solar thermal plant will include 17.5 hours of . These technologies complement each other to supply clean and stable energy 24 hours a day. The complex is located in the commune of María Elena, Segund. Multinational assurance and risk management provider DNV has helped renewable energy leader Zelestra secure close to $300 million to channel towards the development of a massive solar facility in Chile, known as the Aurora project.
