We foster renewable energies

During the construction of the project, there have been several visits from schools and universities, which seek to bring closer the development of renewable energy and the operation of sustainable buildings to local educational communities.

The San Gabriel wind farm, in construction since 2018, is located in the commune of Renaico, in the Araucanía region. During the construction of the project, there have been several visits from schools and universities, which seek to bring closer the development of renewable energy and the operation of sustainable buildings to local educational communities.

 

Within the coordinated visits, an activity was carried out with the University of La Frontera, with 25 students of the career of Industrial Civil Mechanical Engineering, who were involved in topics of prevention, environment, civil works and assemblies.

 

The main characteristics of the wind farm, the role of each department and the main particularities in the construction/assembly of the project were presented. The visit ended with a tour of the working areas of the Park.

Likewise, 43 students of the Liceo Politécnico Domingo Santa María visited the facilities. They were instructed in the topics of renewable energies, environment and prevention.

These students toured the facilities paying special attention to the areas that showed the works for the installation of a wind farm: construction of roads, excavations, construction of foundations, pre-assembly of shaft sections and mechanical assembly among others.

With these initiatives, ACCIONA shows its interest in young people learning about renewable energy and thus gradually achieve a change in the mentality of communities and teach how to protect our planet.
