    As of the end of March this year, Chile's cumulative solar installations have exceeded the 1GW mark, reaching 1.
    102GWac, firmly occupying the largest solar market in South America
    .
    254MW of installations were installed in the first quarter of this year, with an additional 2.
    1GWac set to be completed
    over the next two years.

    PV Magazine quoted the latest report from Chile's Center for Renewable Energy (CIFES) as saying that the country's solar installations continued to grow, reaching 1.
    102GWac
    by the first quarter of this year 。 The 254MWac completed in the first quarter includes a 79MW Pampa Norte solar farm developed by Enel Green Power and a 3MW El Olive project completed by Grenergy
    .

    The CIFES report also counts the installed capacity of all non-traditional renewable energy sources (that is, solar and wind power, etc.
    , excluding traditional renewable energy such as large hydropower), which reached 2.
    9GWac by the end of March, of which 2.
    5GW has been officially converted, accounting for 12% of Chile's national power generation
    .
    During March, 655GWh of electricity was generated from unconventional renewable sources, accounting for 10%
    of the country's electricity use.

    The Chilean government aims to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation to 20% by 2025
    .

    Chile still has 2.
    7GWac of unconventional renewable energy projects under construction, which are expected to be completed
    between April 2016 and August 2018.
    This includes a 2.
    1GWac solar project
    .
    In addition, 19GWac's non-conventional renewable energy projects have passed the EIA, of which more than 11GW are solar power plants; Of the 21GW, 8GW is in the early stages of the development process, of which 5GW is a solar project
    .
