Colombia's 9.48 GW solar project pipe

• The modern technology composes nearly 70% of prepared tidy power generation capability in a country which included simply 4 MW of solar in 2014.

Some 341 solar projects have actually been authorized or are under evaluation in Colombia, according to a computer registry assembled by the Mining and also Energy Planning Unit.

The authority disclosed the figures in a brand-new record released through its Twitter social networks account. The numbers reveal solar comprises 68.47% of the country's intended renewable resource properties, ahead of hydroelectric centers, which provide 24.7%.

Colombia is intending an 18.38 GW tidy power generation profile, of which solar will certainly add 9.48 GW, hydro 4.45 GW, wind 2.55 GW as well as biomass 2 MW. Some 1.9 GW of ability will certainly likewise be protected from intended thermoelectric properties, which produce existing from distinctions in temperature level.

Malfunction

Amongst the PV projects, 159 have a generation ability of less than 1 MW, 59 variety in range from 1-10 MW and also 27 are larger than 100 MW.

The tidy power record reveals the southwestern division of Valle del Cauca has the biggest share of the nation's PV projects, with 46 centers.

The solar project pipe in the tidy power computer system registry had actually gotten to 3.55 GW of generation capability by the end of May as well as consisted of 700 MW and also 300 MW centers. At the time, the checklist additionally consisted of 5 PV projects with a 200 MW capability as well as different centers with 181.2 MW, 120 MW and also 102 MW along with 3 100 MW and also 3 99 MW properties.

Colombia had simply 90 MW of set up solar capability at the end of the year, according to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) numbers, having actually included simply 4 MW throughout 2019.
