Colombia’s efforts to diversify its electricity mix is finally coming to fruition. The first utility-scale solar project is now online, a 9.8 MW ground-mounted project with modules provided by Jinko Solar. Colombian renewable energy company, Celsia, developed the project and has plans to develop a further 250 MW in Colombia and Panama.
PV projects registered in Colombia have increased significantly in 2016. As of December 2016, 160 solar projects with a total capacity of 1.2 GW were registered, compared to just 120 MW in February of the same year.
