Environmental Impact Studies are being held by the authorities for the second stage of the project, called Talinay II.

Projects like the Talinay wind farm, jointly organized by the Ministry of National Assets and the Ministry of Energy, aim to diversify the Chilean energy matrix, promoting the development of renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions and energy dependency from abroad, as well as enhancing power supply to support the country’s development and economic growth.

It is expected that Chilean electricity consumption will increase by 6%-7% by 2020 and this project also forms part of Chile’s 2012-2030 National Energy Strategy to increase energy production .
