TT-Pilot (GEF-4): Promotion and Development of Local Solar Technologies in Chile

The general objective of this project is to provide support the Government of Chile (GoC) and the Ministry of Energy (MINENERGIA) to develop a solar industry for solar water heating (SWH) and power generation in Chile (Photovoltaic (PV) panels and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)). The specific objectives are to: (i) promote technology transfer, institutional strengthening and capacity building in solar technologies; (ii) develop pilot projects using solar technologies (SWH and power generation) and (iii) support the design of incentives, financial mechanisms and a public awareness campaign to promote solar projects with SWH and power generation technologies.
