Chile:

EDC Pulls Out of 185MW Calerias Geothermal Project (Business News Americas)

Phillipines geothermal company Energy Development Corporation (EDC) has pulled out of the 185MW Calerias energy project in Chile's central region VI after encountering disappointing exploration results during a recent resource assessment.

The firm's partner in the Calerias project, Australian renewable energy company Hot Rock limited, resumes 100% control of the resource and will now reassess its own plans for progressing the project, located 100km southeast of Chilean capital Santiago, the company said in its latest operations report.
