The Taltal wind farm is a wind energy project under construction in northern Chile which when complete is expected to be the most productive wind farm in the country. The farm is named after the commune of Taltal, where the project is located, in the region of Antofagasta, north of Santiago. The name "Taltal" came from the Mapudungun word ''Thalthal'', which means "night bird". ==Details== The Taltal wind farm will have 33 V112 wind turbines of 3 MW each, for a total installed capacity of 99 MW, 9 MW more than the Talinay wind farm in the region of Coquimbo, also in the north of Chile. The total investment for the construction of the new wind farm is approximately $190 million US dollars. The project is supported by a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA). The energy generated by the new wind farm will be delivered to the Chilean central region transmission network / SIC (Sistema Interconectado Central), through the Paposo substation, 50 km away from the plant. Once operational, the plant will have the capacity to generate more than 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taltal wind farm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
