10. MEET OUR MEMBERS Paola is a Civil Electrical Engineer from the Pontificia Universidad Católica of Valparaiso with a Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering. She is divorced and has two children, with whom she likes to surf, but her greatest passion is singing. Acera's newly elected Vice President has been in the energy industry for years, another of her passions. "At one point in my life I understood that energy is a driver of development, as it is a strategic industry and extremely challenging, and I like challenges, I am not at ease in comfort zones, so I took it seriously and here I am." Paola currently serves as Director of Regulatory Affairs in Chile and Colombia in AES Gener, which she defines as committed to Chile. "It's a global company with diverse teams, which enriches visions, and where the plurality of opinions and experiences is valued. It is a company with a deep culture of tolerance and respect, which has allowed us to be part of Great Place To Work." How does AES Gener work? We are committed to Chile and its energy transition, which has driven us to be the leading company in the construction of renewable projects at the national level, with 847 MW in construction by the end of <strong>2019</strong>. Paola Hartung Director of Regulatory Affairs Chile and Colombia paola.hartung@aes.com We are diversifying our matrix with hydropower, wind and photovoltaic energy. Our project, Alto Maipo, has an 8% advance and will be the run-of-river hydroelectric power plant that will deliver power to the country's main consumer center. Recently, we acquired the Los Cururos Wind Farm, one of Chile's main wind farms, and we are building two additional wind farms in southern Chile. We are also expanding, our Andes Solar solar park in the Antofagasta region. Which are the latest news or changes introduced by your company? AES Gener has been a pioneer in the incorporation of new technologies in the energy industry. We are leaders in the use of batteries and today we are adding 10 MW of storage to the existing 52 MW. These 10 MW will correspond to "Virtual Reservoir", a reservoir of energy, not water. This technology will allow the energy generated in run-of-river power plants to be stored in a lithium battery bank, so that it is injected into the system at peak times. This technological innovation is unique worldwide. These advances will add sufficiency to renewable plants that otherwise could not manage their resource. What are the main projects - or topics – you are lately working on concerning renewable energy? The main renewable energy projects that we are working on are: Andes Solar II, a solar park located in the Antofagasta region, that corresponds to the expansion of Andes Solar I and will add 80 MW to the system; Virtual Reservoir, a dam of lithium batteries, currently under construction, adjacent to the Alfalfal I plant in the commune of San José de Maipo, in the Metropolitan Region; Mesamávida and Los Olmos, wind farms located in the Biobío region, that will deliver 163 MW of renewable energy; and Alto Maipo, located in the mountain range in the Metropolitan Region, one of the most challenging renewable energy projects being built in the region. This run-of-river plant will have 75 kilometers of tunnels and five high mountain intakes. The tunnels are 900 meters deep on average. Paola believes that Chile has all the environmental conditions to facilitate the development of clean energy. "Renewable energies will make us move towards an increasingly diverse matrix, but to ensure their competitiveness and success they must be reinforced by storage systems and expectations must be properly managed, since this transition must be handled in a responsible way." Why would you recommend being an <strong>ACERA</strong> member? Because it is a consolidated association that has played a strategic role in putting on the table the need for us as a country to have a diversified energy matrix, and this has to do with development, growth and trust. Its members are represented through the Council and Directory, a human group with the right skills, committed, dedicated and with a highly developed sense of country. It has a genuine interest in building a better Chile, with long-term responsibility and vision. When asked about the climate crisis that we are facing and what is her dream for 2030 Paola says: "My renewable dream for 2030 is that our energy transition is carried out in a responsible and sustainable way, incorporating all those elements of innovation that allow this process to be successful".
