The PPA, which incorporates advanced technology, including the use of batteries, was signed after Codelco held a public tender, to which Atlas was awarded and will start to supply clean, renewable energy in 2026, for the next 15 years.

Atlas' pioneering commitment in Chile and the region aims to enhance stability and reliability in electricity supply. This project, incorporating cutting-edge technology and solar energy expertise, marks a breakthrough in Chile, and the region's energy supply contracts. It also strengthens Atlas' ongoing efforts to deliver clean energy to the region's major consumers with competitive solutions.

"The formalization of this PPA with Codelco, a world-renowned institution in the world's mining industry, underlines Atlas Renewable Energy's commitment to develop innovative energy solutions tailored to our customers' needs. With this project, we formally announce our entry into battery storage technology. We see this as an essential element to materially amplify the volume of renewable energy sources in the power system, and to offer our customers a broader suite of energy solutions. We are determined to be the partner of choice for large corporations looking to make the energy transition, and to do so we will endeavor to continue innovating to find ways to better serve our customer's needs," said Carlos Barrera, CEO of Atlas Renewable Energy.

This agreement demonstrates Codelco's trust in Atlas, leveraging its proven track record in providing clean energy to the mining sector. Atlas successfully constructed the Javiera Solar Plant in 2015, supplying 161 GWh annually to a significant Chilean mine, and the Lar do Sol Solar Plant in 2023, delivering 540 GWh a year to Anglo American in Brazil.
