While Hidroaysén defines the location of the transmission line, secretly, we conjecture that this could happen for at least six national parks and eight eight Mapuche territoriality. This added to the intent of the partnership of Endesa and Colbun to negotiate in advance with at least 2,000 owners of the land through which pass the electrical tracing. The company requested
mining concessions that would eventually devalue the price of land, to save future compensation and access to the site without permission ...

The secrecy surrounding the specific location of the transmission line Hidroaysén has remained open despite the communication that took the company after the arrival of TVN former executive, Daniel Fernandez. Is to present this part of the project, it is more complicated than the approval of hydroelectric and Fernandez knows: "The transmission goes through nine regions, is two thousand owners and is sensitive stage, which is more subjective than an environmental impact specific - then that makes it more complex. "
Hidroaysén If the business is not only the production of energy but the transmission. This is seen in the investment required for the project, while the five hydroelectric power plants would have an investment cost of U.S. $ 3,200 million, the transmission line that runs 1,912 miles from the Aysen region to Santiago, around U.S. $ 3,800 million.
From January 3, Hidroaysén has a transmission management, which is led by civil engineer electrician Botteselle Pablo de la Fuente (58). He is in charge of defining exactly where to pass the line and how you installed the 3,800 transmission towers, ie move this part of the project. In November, the company consists of Colbún and Endesa, expects to deliver the Environmental Impact Study of the transmission line and you can see the path where to go because Hidroaysén is holding several mining concessions (which can devalue the price of land, to save future awards and to enter the place without permission), continuous line ranging from Aysén to Santiago. Negotiating
secret path
Although Daniel Fernandez says that "companies modern, major and strategic projects that have environmental effects, they must communicate and make known to the public what they are doing, "Hidroaysén not want to reveal the location of the route of transmission towers. "We're not ready for submission," says María Irene Soto, communications manager. In opposition, Flavia Liberona, executive director of the Terram Foundation, says Hidroaysén "kept secret because they know that when it becomes public, it will trigger many environmental conflicts."
Hidroaysén have to negotiate with at least 2 000 owners use the land to which should provide financial compensation by agreement or through the Commission of Good Men, which designates the Ministry of Economy. Carried out, negotiating with each owner would separate after submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment in November. This gives room for the company to establish unequal compensation based on negotiation good or bad to do with each person. Although
Daniel Fernandez says that "modern business, with major and strategic projects that have environmental effects, they must communicate and disclose to the public what they are doing," Hidroaysén not want to reveal the location the layout of the towers of transmisión.Patricio Rodrigo, Secretary of Defense Council of Patagonia, an organization that is leading the campaign Patagonia Without Dams, said that "one of the benefits Hidroaysén'll take the silence, we go that way to catch the unsuspecting owner ... not going to reach out to make a good defense. " It also ensures that the mere fact of applying for mining concessions, Hidroaysén "is affecting the economic assets of the owners, who see their depreciated property."
One of the questions that arise, against any negotiations to be done Hidroaysén with owners is whether U.S. $ 3,800 million to be invested in the transmission line, including payment of compensation.
Another obstacle to define the path, is the eventual passage through public and private protected areas, as well as passing through territories of indigenous communities. Hidroaysén dismissed and go through Pumalin Park, owned by one of his main opponents, North American Douglas Tompkins. But there are still complex issues because the tracing based on the mining concessions evidence that the line will pass through at least six national parks and eight indigenous sectors. Torres
70 to 80 meters
Hidroaysén plans hide part of the transmission line behind the hills and this implies the installation of towers on virgin land without road access. Against this, Daniel Fernández says that if the tower is "in the woods, will be installed by helicopter," adding that staff have already ordered the company to meet the installation system to the U.S.. On the other hand, the towers would go near the road, would be moved on a truck for installation.
The type of power would be used continuously and Fernandez explained that this decision was made that "only lost 8% of energy in transport, while 18% AC lost. "
Each tower would have a height that reaches 70 or 80 meters, depending on whether you are online or break points of the path. The basic structure of the towers are between 5 and 7 square meters, although Hidroaysén would have a right of passage for 70 meters in the area of \u200b\u200bthe tower. Fernandez explained that then they can "enter, repair ... there are certain restrictions and therefore have to compensate (the owner of the land)."
In these 70 meters Fernandez said that "race does not need to do logging at any point, just to clear the area of \u200b\u200bthe base of the tower" on the other hand, explains that "The rule states that there can be no less than 15 meters from the tip of a tree and a driver, so if the tree is very high we will have to cut off the tip." Pruning of trees, would be part of the work of maintaining the transmission line, once installed. Flavia Liberona, executive director of the Terram Foundation, says that with this "Chile seems to have a scar, because the line must be kept uncovered clear and shield."
Step by national reserves
Hidroaysén not know if the transmission line will hide behind the hills or follow the line of the road Austral, but Daniel Fernandez said that "in the region (Aysén) people and the authorities tend to prefer not to see." Which presents a challenge in itself, because the absence of roads, the installation of the towers is difficult and increase costs.
are five hydroelectric power plants it plans to build Hidroaysén, to feed the Central Interconnected System (SIC). To do so, shall transfer the energy from the Aysen Region of Santiago and the starting point of the transmission line would be at the site of the hydroelectric Baker 1, a site that is visible from the Southern Road.
From south to north , And based on the design of mining concessions owned by the company - the first National Reserve (NR) flowing through the Cochrane Lake, also known as RN Tamango. Then pass the RN Cerro Castillo, where Fernandez says that the line does not affect the view you have from the southern road at Cerro Castillo. So probably, if so - this section would be installed between the hills and not in line with the road.
The route continues in the vicinity of the RN Coihaique, which houses an Indian community on the road. The following potentially affected natural reserve is the RN Lake Towers, located at the commune Coihaique and Green Lake. Later, near the RN would Carlota Lake, then skirt the Corcovado National Park, located in the Lakes Region.
in Chaitén line dips in and out in Puerto Guadal, west of Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas bypassing and Lake Llanquihue. Will be 160 kilometers and an estimated cost per kilometer dipped $ 9.2 million. In this way, it bypasses Pumalin Park.
Leaving Puerto Montt to the north, the next point of conflict is between the town of Marikina (Los Ríos Region, province of Valdivia) and the commune of Toltén (Araucanía Region), where four areas of indigenous communities could be affected. A little north of this region in the province of Cautín are two Indigenous communities. The same happens between the towns of Lautaro and Victoria.
Leaving the Araucanía Region, which would focus the problems of indigenous communities, the transmission line would continue right up to the height of El Tabo, which bend toward the mountains, entering Santiago by the south west sector.
