Bad reporting. Note fails to show that there has been a wind-energy farm at the Cabo Negro location for many years. There are three Vestas V52/850 wind turbines there, each with 850 kW capacity, owned and operated by Pecket. We see them every time we visit Punta Arenas. Thus this is not the “first stage” of the wind farm there, but rather the first part of what might be done by ENAP.
