Pilmaiquén Hydroelectric Plant
Pilmaiquén Hydroelectric Plant is a series of hydroelectric power stations and projects owned by Statkraft, using water from Pilmaiquén River in Los Ríos Region, Chile.
Rucatayo
[edit]The Rucatayo plant produces 39 megawatts (52,000 hp) of electricity.[1] The plant was built by ENDESA between 1944 and 1959 was owned by Pilmaiquén S.A.[1] until 2015, when Statkraft bought it, along with the development rights to Osorno and Los Lagos. Rucatayo delivers around 304 GWh per year.[2]
Los Lagos
[edit]The Los Lagos project was planned at 50.8 MW power, delivering around 310 GWh per year.[2] It was modified to 51.6 MW power, but reduced to 260 GWh energy per year, starting in late 2022.[3]
Osorno
[edit]The Osorno project has 54.3 MW power, delivering around 343 GWh per year.[2] No decision has been made about starting the project.[3]
