AFRY’s scope encompasses detailed engineering across multiple technical domains for the photovoltaic installation. The firm will contribute renewable energy expertise alongside electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering competencies to maintain high technical standards and constructive efficiency while ensuring compliance with international best practices and local regulatory requirements. Jorge Saavedra, Group Leader for Renewable Energy at AFRY Chile, emphasized the company’s contribution to expanding renewable generation and supporting Chile’s energy transition through the detailed engineering development.
The San Camilo project advances as Chile continues prioritizing renewable capacity additions, particularly in the Atacama Region where solar resource quality ranks among the highest globally. The planned integration of battery storage in the second phase aligns with broader grid stability requirements as intermittent renewable sources constitute an increasing share of generation capacity. The project structure reflects Moreau’s approach to staged development, allowing initial operations to commence while positioning infrastructure for future expansion without requiring comprehensive redesign.
The detailed engineering phase precedes construction activity, establishing technical specifications and regulatory compliance frameworks that will govern project execution. AFRY’s involvement extends beyond basic design to encompass constructability considerations and operational efficiency optimization. The partnership between Moreau and AFRY represents cross-border collaboration between international engineering entities with established Latin American operations, applying global renewable energy development practices to Chile’s expanding solar generation sector.
