345kV high voltage transmission power line to Chilean power grid
The 345 kV transmission line is owned by InterAndes, a
subsidiary of AES Gener.
AES Gener is a publicly listed company in Chile focused on
the generation and distribution of electricity in Chile. It
supplies the “Sistema Interconnectado Cental” (SIC electricity
grid) through its direct interest in four hydroelectric plants, two
coal plants and two gas fired turbine plants.
AES Gener is also a supplier of energy to the “Sistema
Interconectado del Norte Grande” (SING electricity grid)
through its subsidiaries Norgener and TermoAndes. The first
is a coal fired power plant in the city of Tocopilla in Chile. The
later, is a combined cycle natural gas plant, located at Cobos
in the province of Salta in Argentina.
The purpose of the Termo Andes plant in Salta is to supply
the SING electricity market in Chile. It is the first facility in
Argentina oriented to the export of electrical power to
neighboring countries.
The power generated from this plant, is transmitted to
northern Chile by a dedicated 345 kV transmission line which
is connected to the SING.

345kV transmission over Geothermal fields to primary off-taker Escondida
5. 5Please read important disclaimer at the end of the presentation
Escondida – the world’s largest copper mine in Northern Chile
BHP Billiton owns and operates the largest copper mine in the world. Escondida is located 160 km southeast of
Antofagasta in Chile’s Region II. In 2011, Escondida produced 990,000 tons of copper. Production is expected to
expand to 1,300,000 tons per annum by June 2015.
Escondida is supplied power by Norgener and Edelnor. It also has four emergency diesel generators totaling 4 MW.
The primary energy demand by Escondida, supports the grinding mills, slurry pumps and the mine itself.
The mine receives electricity through two x 220kV transmission lines that are connected to the SING (Sistema
Interconectado Norte Grande) in substations Mejillones and Cruise.
The high-tension power line found in lpineas, which starts at Mejillones and ends at the mine site, is owned by
Escondida. Whilst the other parallel high tension line, is jointly owned by Escondida and the Zaldivar mine. BHP
Billiton is actively looking for alternative energy solutions to mitigate the energy deficit which exits in Chile.

Northern Concession: Tuzgle / Tocomar
Salta and Jujuy Provinces
Chile
Argentina ! Preliminary geothermal
prospection was carried out in
1978-79
! First pre-feasibility studies
carried out in 1980-81 by
Ministry of Mining and Energy
! Further studies were undertaken
in 1980s and 1990s including
gradient drilling in 1989-90
! The area is well serviced by
roads
! A high voltage transmission line
(345 kV) passes through three
of the concessions (and
continues into Chile)
! This is an area where heavy
development of Lithium mining
(energy intensive mining) is
currently underway
! Based on comparisons with
similar geothermal fields with
installed capacity, we estimate
the energy potential of each
geothermal field (Tuzgle /
Tocomar) to be 50 MW each
