SeaWind is a Chilean company with more than 10 years’ experience developing, maintaining and operating wind farms projects in Chile and South America. Having developed more than 90 MW in wind and net billing solar projects, the company is projecting a strong increase in the coming years thanks to a 270 MW portfolio investment.
After intensive market research, SeaWind decided to implement Breeze into its developed wind farm, Cerro Coihue, located in a very remote and windy site, in the western part of Chilean Patagonia. This wind farm feeds energy to an isolated gold mine, helping them lower their diesel consumption and substantially reduce their carbon footprint.
“Breeze allows us to monitor remotely and follow closely the wind turbines production as well as the scheduled maintenance - all in one single platform” said Rolf Büntemeyer, project director of SeaWind. “We found Breeze to be the one system that best meets our needs”.
Marcelo Banto, vice president of SeaWind, added that the installation will be the first Breeze project in Chile and is a good start to what could be a long standing relationship between the two companies.
SeaWind has an extensive portfolio, making a multi-client platform mandatory, and a need to monitor remotely their wind resource met masts in the country.
