Chile: Bardon, Chillan 1 and 2, Futaleufu, Puelo and Huechun hydroelectric projects
In Chile, six dams were planned to be developed in the Patagonia region. However, local communities and affected people strongly opposed the creation of the dams for social and environmental concerns, and the impact the projects would have on tourism. Many of these people depend on tourism for their livelihoods. Following social and environmental impact assessments, Endesa announced that it has resciended their water rights to develop the projects, regardless of the fact that they had already invested US$52 million.
International Rivers commends Endesa for listening to community concerns.
