[1] The farm is named after the commune of Taltal, where the project is located, in the region of Antofagasta, 1,550 km (960 mi) north of Santiago.

[2] The name "Taltal" came from the indigenous word Thalthal, which means "night bird".

The total investment for the construction of the new wind farm is approximately $190 million US dollars.

[6] The energy generated by the wind farm is delivered to the Chilean central region transmission network / SIC (Sistema Interconectado Central), through the Paposo substation, 50 km away from the plant.

The plant has the capacity to generate 300 GWh a year, preventing 200,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually and providing enough electricity to meet the power needs of 170,000 Chilean households.
