Colbún plans **US$140 million in capital expenditures for 2027** if no new power plants receive approval. The company is evaluating potential investments in new capacity while defining its long-term strategy for gas procurement and project development.
Atlas Renewable Energy introduces a multi-client battery storage project in Antofagasta, Chile. The initiative provides Colbún with secured capacity from the Estepa Solar facility. This project supports renewable energy integration in the region.
Engie, Enel, and Colbun are competing in Chile’s power supply tender. The auction aims to allocate **2,835 GWh/year** of electricity for regulated customers. The tender represents a key opportunity for energy providers to secure long-term contracts in Chile’s regulated market.
Chilean utility **Colbun SA** supplies **100% renewable electricity** to **21 commercial properties** owned by shopping center operator **Parque Arauco SA** under a six-year agreement. The deal covers all energy needs for the properties, transitioning them to fully renewable power sources. Both companies announced the partnership in a joint statement.
