In 2013 the Atacama 1 solar complex was proposed as a 110 MW electric plant (the first in Latin America) and a 100 MW photovoltaic plant. The solar thermal plant will include 17.5 hours of . These technologies complement each other to supply clean and stable energy 24 hours a day. The complex is located in the commune of María Elena, Segund. The study found that a solar hybrid that combines PV and CSP including 13 hours of thermal energy storage would be able to replicate the flexibility of gas power plants – at a lower LCOE..
