Project CO2-9909en
Cururos Wind Farm Project Chile, Gold Standard VER
The Cururos Wind Farm Project includes two wind farms called “El Pacifico" and “La Cebada" in the Coquimbo region in Chile with a total installed capacity of 109.6 MW and an average generation of 290 GWh per year. The wind farm is connected to the Central Interconnected System (SIC). By replacing fossil-fuel based power in the grid, it has the capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 173,819 tCO2e per year, totaling 1,390,550 tCO2e during the renewable 7 years crediting period.The project will also contribute to the sustainable development of the country and region by decreasing the dependency on limited non-renewable resources, generate employment opportunities, contribute to the transfer of clean technology, and create new direct and indirect income sources.

Gold Standard VER
Verified Emission Reductions (VER) are emission rights that are intended to offset CO2 emissions in the voluntary market. For carbon offset, we choose climate protection projects based on renewable energy or afforestation that, like this project, have been verified by the Gold Standard Foundation.
