SunEdison, Inc. today announced that they will be investing more than $700 million USD to develop 350MW of utility scale solar photovoltaic power plants throughout Chile. SunEdison intends to add the plants to the call right list of TerraForm Power, Inc.

SunEdison was awarded the provision of 190GWh per year during the daytime block which begins in 2016 and a further provision of 380GWh per during the daytime block which will become operational in 2017. The solar energy generated through SunEdison's 350MW utility scale projects will be purchased by local energy commercialization companies under 15 year power purchase agreements.

"This project demonstrates SunEdison's ability to provide innovative energy solutions and compete on equal footing in the Chilean regulated market," stated Jose Perez, president of SunEdison for Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America. "Without incentives or subsidies of any kind, solar energy is 10-25% more affordable than imported fossil fuels in Chile. This bid represents a portfolio of strategic projects for SunEdison that will help diversify the energy mix of the Chilean grid and will help resolve the country's energy supply deficit using clean, sustainable renewable energy at competitive electricity prices." Perez added: "This award allows us to continue our steady growth as the leading renewable energy developer in Chile and Latin America."

"We are proud to partner with SunEdison to make this milestone event in energy provision in Chile a reality, and we're pleased to continue to expand our portfolio of renewable energy assets in high quality energy markets," said Carlos Domenech, president and chief executive officer of TerraForm Power. "As we acquire these power plants over the next several years, we will adding to our substantial base of facilities with high-quality, long-term power purchase agreements that are not affected by fossil fuel price changes. Contracts like these demonstrate the cost advantage that solar and wind generation has established over conventional generation in many markets. Lower oil prices will not reverse this advantage and we expect it to continue to drive rapid growth in the deployment of renewables."
