Luz del Norte COPIAPÓ, CHILE CONSTRUCTION PHASE First Solar OWNER & DEVELOPER Ground-Mounted Photovoltaic TYPE The Luz del Norte project will be the largest photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant in Latin America when completed and will occupy 478 hectares of land located 58 km northeast of Copiapó, Chile. The project will further diversify Chile’s energy portfolio and create up to 370 jobs during peak construction and 10 ongoing operations and maintenance positions. The 141 megawatt (MW) alternating current (AC) project will be powered by more than 1.7 million First Solar advanced thin film PV modules, producing enough solar energy to power 174,000 homes and displace the equivalent of more than 185,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. In addition to supplying the solar modules for this project, First Solar is providing Engineering, Procurement and Construction, Operations and Maintenance and recycling services.
