Patache power station

Patache power station is a proposed 110 MW coal-fired plant to be located 60km south of Iquique in northern Chile's region I. The US$150 million project is under Compañía Eléctrica Tarapacá, controlled by Spain-based Endesa. A committee of Chilean government ministers approved the project in September 2012, which was reported as "Americas Energy Fund’s Patache," a fund of Chile's SCL Energía and financial services company LarrainVial.
