San Pedro Wind Farm
The local community of San Pedro benefited initially by the improvement of roads and the school infrastructure that were part of the project. The commuting time to the main road, was shortened considerably improving connections for the formerly isolated San Pedro community with the towns of Dalcahue and Castro. After this the relation of the wind farm enterprise with the local community slowly deteriorated. There are claims of unfulfilled promises and unequal treatment of different families. There have also been complaints about the dust arisen from the roads and of dangerously high speed at which personnel of the wind farm drives through in populated areas.
The builders and owners of the wind farm are the enterprises Trans Antarctic Energía and Bosques de Chiloé.
