In November 2021, the photovoltaic specialist CCE opened its 87-megawatt solar power plant La Huella in the municipality of La Higuera north of Santiago de Chile. It is the first of four planned photovoltaic projects in the South American country. However, the Austrian company does not only want to make a significant contribution to the fight against climate change. It also takes its social responsibility seriously and has equipped 30 families in the region, who were previously not connected to the electricity grid, with photovoltaic kits free of charge. With the off-grid installation of the panels, these families are now self-sufficient and continuously supplied with energy.

For this purpose, CCE has launched the CCE Care initiative that identifies and implements social, environmental or socially relevant projects - not only in Chile, but in all countries where CCE is active and maintains PV plants. (mfo)
