This report summarises IRENA analysis to identify favourable zones in Colombia for utility-scale solar PV and onshore wind projects, and their associated techno-economic parameters.
In May, Colombian state-owned oil company Ecopetrol acquired nine solar and wind energy projects from Norway''s Statkraft, marking the European firm''s exit from the country. The portfolio spans La Guajira, Sucre,
Supported by system dynamics modeling, this paper presents four scenarios that explore possible futures for wind capacity deployment in Colombia between 2020 and 2050.
Colombian state oil firm Ecopetrol said on Monday it has purchased a wind power project in the northern province of La Guajira from Enel for $50 million.
Major companies are abandoning their wind energy projects in Colombia, particularly in La Guajira, due to recent regulatory changes.
We pioneered the technology over one decade ago, and today almost half our new projects include a storage component. Energy storage is a "force multiplier" for carbon-free energy.
Colombian state oil firm Ecopetrol said on Monday it has purchased a wind power project in the northern province of La Guajira from Enel for $50 million.
Colombia has some of the best natural conditions for offshore wind in the world and there is already abundant private sector interest in developing projects. Colombia has an opportunity
The roadmap of the future of offshore wind energy in Colombia must be to fulfill three primary objectives identify the best opportunities for harnessing the offshore wind resource, to improve
