The Colombian authorities have allocated 4.4 GW of solar capacity at a rate of $0.0182/kWh in the nation’s latest energy auction, with solar plants accounting for approximately 99% of the assigned capacity.
Mesa recounted the history of solar PV adoption in his country and provided details on the most recent developments, including the construction of Colombia’s largest solar park by Italian group Enel and the first large scale battery project by Canadian Solar.
Colombia’s new decree includes requirements that energy communities must meet, such as rules on collective self-consumption and collective distributed generation. PV initiatives should be designed to last, as several well-meaning off-grid solar projects for the developing world have floundered over the years.
The final average price for the PV technology was significantly higher than that of the previous procurement exercise. The 61 MW solar facility is owned by Colombian oil company Ecopetrol.
