The installed wind energy capacity in Chile is forecast to more than quadruple from 2021 to 2050, reaching 19.8 gigawatts by the latter year. This continues a trend already observed through the past decade. Chile's installed wind power capacity doubled between 2017 and 2021, surpassing two gigawatts as of January of the latest year.
Projected installed wind energy capacity in Chile from 2021 to 2050
(in gigawatts)
* This scenario takes into consideration a low phase-out intensity of coal-fired power plants, high energy demand, a low technological shift to battery storage, a high cost of environmental externalities, a low investment cost of renewable technologies, and a high price of fossil fuels. Scenario B foresees that 96% of electricity generation will be from renewable energies in 2050. More information about the PELP 2020 and the different scenarios can be found here.
