AES, EDPR, Trina Solar and Colombian power group Celsia were the winners of 1.3GW of new wind and solar PV capacity in the country’s debut clean energy tender, which will quickly usher the Latin American country into the renewables era.

While EDPR was the biggest winner in wind with two projects adding up to 492MW, China's Trina Solar consolidated its position in Latin America by winning all the PV contracts, which add up to 288MW.
