Chile is one of the world leaders in electricity generation from renewable sources. With 26% of the electricity generated in 2020 coming from these sources, the country met its 2025 target ahead of schedule last year. In the coming years, billions of dollars will be invested in new solar and wind power plants, as well as small and medium-sized hydroelectric projects. Investors are showing growing interest in the opportunities available in this sector. In Chile, there are already six investment funds and one mutual fund focused on renewable energy, which collectively manage US$250 million. The bulk of these funds is managed by FYNSA AGF through the Rockville Energy fund (US$147 million), which focuses on solar plants, and the FYNSA Energía fund (US$59.2 million), which focuses on hydroelectric projects.
