How many wind and solar projects are in Colombia?
Colombia's renewable energy auction awarded contracts for nine wind and five solar projects. These projects are worth approximately $8 billion and will add 1,365 MW of wind and solar capacity, due to be commissioned by .
Does Colombia have a power purchase agreement for hybrid solar & Bess projects?
As of now, Colombia’s reliability charge (Cargo por Confiabilidad) has encouraged hybrid solar + BESS projects to progress. Large energy companies have expressed that there are no Power Purchasing Agreements (PPAs) available specifically for stand-alone storage projects, making it harder to finance those projects.
Is Colombia a leader in sustainable mobility?
Colombia is positioning itself to be a leader in sustainable mobility for the next decade. The country approved the first program for 20 percent biodiesel blends, and Law in further promoted private ventures in large-scale, renewable energy projects.
How much battery capacity will Latin America have by ?
While the U.S. was expected to have nearly 60 GWh of installed battery capacity by the end of , AMI estimates that Latin America had less than 1 GWH of operational BESS projects—a 60x difference. This large gap will be bridged at different speeds based on each country’s specific regulations.
