Borde Productivo: Integración del Parque Eólico Aurora a su contexto territorial

Abstract

The incorporation of wind farms in the territory not only involves the selection of large areas but a precise distinction of the land for its implementation that guarantees its viability as an energy production project. As a consequence of this, new territorial footprints emerge, configured by these facilities that are arranged as rural borders. The research proposes to study systems of linkage between the existing territorial productive activities -agricultural, forestry and grazing- and the energy production of the wind farms located in the rural properties; through the case study of the Aurora Wind Farm in Llanquihue - X Region of the Lakes - Chile. These activities demand the use of the same territories; those that today are forced to the exclusive use for the generation of wind energy generating territorial isolation and mono production, due to the current model of geographic disposition of wind farms in Chile, canceling previous productive uses. It is under this condition that it is proposed to rethink the logics of land occupation and the resolution of this segregating edge of these two productive areas avoiding friction and exploring their interrelation.
