The Chile Quilleco Hydroelectric Project aims to provide financial support through a market-based mechanism for private investment in projects in the Chilean power sector that reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, thereby generating Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs,) under the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Quilleco project consists of a 70 MW run-of-river hydropower plant, located on the Laja River, 8 km downstream of the existing Rucue hydropower plant.
