Copec acquired the La Huella photovoltaic park from Clean Capital Energy, adding an 87 MWp solar asset to its portfolio. The plant, located in La Higuera, Coquimbo Region, Chile, includes more than 216,000 high‑efficiency panels on single‑axis trackers and a step‑up substation that feeds directly into the National Electric System.
