Colombia could contract up to 2GW in a renewable energy tender that was rescheduled for October after the government simplified rules, increased competition and boosted contractual guarantees for PPAs, said the head of a national renewables body.
“We could have more than 50 projects bidding in the [22 October] tender, which will add up to 3GW in capacity … this means that renewables could have account for more than 6% of the power in the country,” Germán Corredor, executive director of Ser Colombia, the country’s leading renewable energy association, told Recharge in an email interview.
