HidroAysén


HidroAysén (Pronounced: /ˈdr ˈsɛn/ EE-droh EYE-sen About this sound Audio [Spanish and English] ) is a controversial megaproject that aims to build five hydroelectric power plants in Chile's Aysén Region, two on the Baker River and three on the Pascua River (with government subvention included to help relief costs).

The dams would generate a total of 2,750 megawatts (3,690,000 hp) with further capacity for 18,430 gigawatt-hours (66,300 TJ) on average annually. The projected cost is estimated at 3.2 billion U.S. dollars (1.5 trillion Chilean pesos), making it the largest energy project in the country's history.
