Chilean largest electricity utility Enersis develops electricity projects with 1,096 MW installed capacity in Chile, planning to complete them by the end of 2010.

The ongoing projects will demand investments of nearly $1.0 bln (675.9 mln euro).

The said projects include San Isidro II that will have a total capacity of 377 MW by July 2009, whose investment is estimated at $229 mln (154.8 mln euro).

Furthermore, Enersis will soon complete a small 9.0 MW electricity plant, called Ojos de Agua, worth $20 mln (13.5 mln euro).

The other projects include the coal-fired expansion Bocamina II of the Bocamina thermoelectric plant in Biobio, worth $620 mln (419.1 mln euro), and the 240 MW Quintero thermal plant. The two projects are planned for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Enersis also participates in the construction of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) port terminal in Quintero, which will start operations in the second half of 2009. Its estimated capacity stands at 9.0 million cu m.

Enersis controls the biggest electricity distributor on the local market Chilectra and the utility Endesa Chile.
