Colombia's Solar Power Growth and Huijue's Role in Renewable Energy Expansion

Post time: 2024-07-25

The installed capacity of solar power has been developing very fast during the last years. By July 2024, the cumulative PV installed capacity in the country had achieved 1.2 GW, a number never seen before in this kind of expansion for renewable energies. The journey, which started with 90 MW installed in 2019, increased to 107 MW by 2020 and was projected to reach 443 MW by 2023. In fact, IRENA said solar capacity jumped from 457 MW in 2022 to 952 MW in 2023.

Colombia’s installed solar capacity

This rapid development has been supported by government support policies and major solar projects, the most recent being Enel's 240 MW plant and Power Construction's 108 MW Tapuy project. Challenges, including disrupted supply chains, notwithstanding, rich solar potential, urbanization tendencies, and continued government support will arguably drive the future of Colombia's solar market. According to analysts, the country will reach a remarkable 12.85 GW of installed capacity at the end of 2029, growing at a CAGR of 54.06%.

How does Huijue contribute to the renewable energy landscape of Colombia?
Among renewable companies, Huijue is second to none in offering first-class photovoltaic storage solutions to meet the increasing industry demands. Based on leading technologies and profound industry expertise, Huijue ensures perfect system integration of solar energy with Battery Energy Storage Systems to maximize energy utilization and allow for long-term value addition to customer benefits.

This includes a wide portfolio of services, from design consultation to system integration and finally maintenance and ongoing support. These services will go a long way in ensuring sustainable energy transitions not just within Colombia but the world over in general, supporting the transition toward cleaner sources of energy.

What are the larger ramifications of this for Colombia's Solar and BESS Projects?

The performance of Colombia in solar energy and BESS projects demonstrates a complete transformation in the energy landscape of this country. Besides reducing reliance on fossil fuels, such development has overall effects on economic growth and societal advancements. Of course, this is where superior photovoltaic storage services come in to add momentum and position Colombia as one of the leaders into the moving average of renewable energy globally with evolving technologies and demands.
