Alotta Energy Chile signs landmark 15-year energy supply agreement with Trusal S.A.

The project is delivered in partnership with AKVA group Chile, which is responsible for the turnkey integration of Alotta’s floating solar technology into Trusal’s feeding barges and farm operations.

The contract covers one floating solar energy plant, with options for up to five additional units, underlining Trusal’s commitment to scaling clean power across its operations. Through this agreement, Alotta Energy Chile will own and operate the installations, while Trusal commits to purchasing green energy over a period of 15 years. AKVA group’s role ensures reliable performance, technical integration and service throughout the project’s lifecycle. This model allows aquaculture companies to significantly reduce cost, diesel consumption and CO₂ emissions, without the need for upfront investments or operational risk.

Beyond the clear environmental benefits, the shift from diesel to solar power also transforms the daily experience at the farm sites. The feeding barges will be much quieter, creating a better working environment for staff – and likely a calmer, healthier environment for the fish as well.

Claudio Melgarejo, CFO of Trusal:
“For Trusal, a subsidiary of Salmones Austral, the collaboration with Alotta Energy and AKVA group in the implementation of this system has been highly satisfactory and strategic for our operations. At Salmones Austral, we maintain a firm commitment to the sustainable transformation of our production processes, actively seeking systems that contribute to reducing our CO2 emissions. We emphasize that this project has been developed within a collaborative and efficient framework between all parties “

Kari-Elin Hildre, CEO of Alotta Energy Chile:
"This 15-year agreement is a milestone for Alotta Energy and a clear signal of the industry’s transition away from diesel dependency. Our energy-as-a-service model makes the switch to renewables simple: Alotta owns and operates the plants, and our customers only pay for the green kilowatt-hours we produce. For Trusal, this means cost savings, reduced emissions, and a more sustainable energy mix. For us, it is a privilege to support one of Chile’s leading seafood producers in taking this important step."

Jan Erik Våge Klepp, Chairman of the Board, Alotta Energy Chile:
“Working with the people at Trusal has been inspiring and truly rewarding. From the very start it felt like one team — open, curious, and driven to make a difference. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together and excited for what’s ahead.”

Christian Schäfer, General Manager, AKVA Group Chile:
"This system in the Los Lagos region allows the site to run mainly on clean electricity during summer. By delivering a turn-key floating solar hybrid system to Alotta Energy, we’ve created a setup that improves working conditions and significantly reduces Scope 1 CO₂ emissions — a strong example of how technology can drive sustainable aquaculture."

Over the 15-year contract period, if all six plants are realized, Trusal will cut around 10 million litres of diesel and avoid nearly 27,000 tons of CO₂ emissions – the equivalent of removing 6,000 cars from the road for a year, or planting more than 1.3 million trees.
