Distributed Solar Portfolio

CC&L Infrastructure, in partnership with CarbonFree Technology, has acquired and constructed a leading institutional-scale solar portfolio in Chile, representing 36 ground mount projects capable of generating more than 200 MW of clean energy – enough power to meet the needs of more than 36,000 homes each year.

Each project within the portfolio is strategically located within a defined radius of Santiago, Chile’s main energy load center, and sells its power at a stabilized price under the Pequeños Medios de Generación Distribuidos (PMGD) program.
