Colbún supplies 100% renewable energy to Team Chile's Olympic Training Center via PPA

Type: Ppa · Technology: Renewable Energy · Country: Chile · Announced: 2026-07-10

Colbún and the Comité Olímpico de Chile formalized a four-year power purchase agreement (PPA) to supply 1,027 GWh of 100% renewable energy annually to the Centro de Entrenamiento Olímpico Marlene Ahrens in Ñuñoa, Santiago. The deal aligns with Team Chile's sustainability commitments ahead of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, covering the Olympic Training Center's operations across 25,000 m² and facilities supporting 38 sports federations. The agreement also includes plans for future solar panel installations at the Curauma Olympic Training Center in Valparaíso, though specific capacity, investment, and timeline details remain undisclosed. Beyond electricity supply, the partnership commits to neutralizing emissions from Team Chile's travel and competition activities, building on Colbún's prior work offsetting emissions for events like the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games. The Centro de Entrenamiento Olímpico Marlene Ahrens was recognized in 2023 as Latin America's first sustainable Olympic training facility, with its waste management system having processed over 109.5 tons of waste since then.
