Copec’s renewable energy solutions subsidiary signed an agreement with Parque Arauco to develop three solar plants under the Net Billing system, allowing it to self-generate part of its energy and feed the surplus into the grid.

The initiative covers the installation of two 437.4 kWp systems at the Arauco Coronel mall and the construction of a 104 kWp plant at Arauco Express Calama, with an estimated combined generation of more than 1.4 million kWh per year.

This infrastructure will prevent the emission of more than 690 tons of CO₂ per year, equivalent to removing 205 vehicles from the road or planting more than 14,000 trees, thus consolidating progress in the joint strategy of decarbonization and transition to a cleaner energy matrix.

“This project with Parque Arauco is a good example of how, through integrated renewable solutions, we can accelerate the decarbonization of energy-intensive assets and generate long-term environmental and economic value,” said Juan Cristóbal González, CEO of Copec Flux.
