Altius, a member of the Project Logistics Alliance representing Spain, Argentina, and Bolivia, recently completed a challenging operation—successfully shipping two 154-tonne transformers from China to the Quillagua photovoltaic solar plant in Chile.

The plant, a cutting-edge hybrid installation, combines renewable energy generation with an advanced energy storage system. However, its location in Chile’s Atacama Desert posed a significant challenge. Quillagua sits atop a steep hill, requiring transport over slopes of up to 15% on low-traction terrain.

This complex operation demanded meticulous planning and precise coordination, both of which Altius executed flawlessly. The successful delivery marks a major achievement for the company in renewable energy infrastructure development.
Congratulations, Team Altius!
