# List of energy companies in Chile

Tamtam tracks 27 energy companies headquartered in Chile. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by COPEC S.A., SQM and ENAP. Their median headcount is 834. Half of them were founded in 1988 or later. The most common headquarters are Santiago (15) and Viña del Mar (2).

These are large Chilean energy companies, primarily engaged in oil and gas, utilities, and electric power generation. They include established firms like COPEC S.A., which distributes fuels and renewable energies, and ENAP, focused on sustainable energy sources. Other significant players are SQM, a producer and exporter of lithium, and Grupo Saesa, an electric company serving southern Chile. Many of these companies have a long history, with several founded in the early to mid-20th century.

The headquarters of these major energy companies are predominantly located in Santiago and its surrounding areas, such as Las Condes and Providencia.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 14, 2026.
