About

Luis Andrés Ulloa M. is widely seen as ‘one of the most hard-working general counsel in the industry’, which is perhaps not surprising given the abundance of impressive achievements in his legal career. Currently at the helm of the legal department at Energía Llaima, Ulloa has provided legal advice during the development and operation of market leading hydraulic and solar energy projects in Chile, including Pampa Elvira, the largest solar thermal plant in the world. He is currently working on the development of several projects for a total of 400 MW of electricity, which in the next few years will be injected into the national electricity network, and other solar thermal energy. Known to be ‘accessible and creative at problem solving’, Ulloa currently supports the company’s most ambitious project to date, a hydroelectric power plant located in the Biobío region with a capacity of 109.3 MW. One colleague describes Ulloa as having ‘deep knowledge of both water and energy law as well as issues related to corporate law, civil law and public law. Luis has a great capacity of leadership and an excellent disposition to work in a team, and to help to the others, which is a great contribution in work groups’. Previously, Ulloa worked at Carey and Conservation Land Trust Fundación Pumalín focusing on water law projects. ‘Luis Andrés is an excellent professional, possessing a high intellectual level, persistence and common sense’, another colleague praises Ulloa.
