Source: public registers of Chile's environmental regulator (SMA). Investment is what the holder declared when the project was assessed, in dollars of that year; it is not actual spend. Approvals after 2016 come from the RCA register and carry no investment or exact day. Projects of natural persons are shown without a name.
