CPC's Andalucía Photovoltaic Project Achieves Full-Capacity Grid Connection in Colombia

Andalucía Photovoltaic Project in Colombia connected to the grid with full capacity, Consolidating its Foothold in South America On August 2nd, the project of Andalucía Photovoltaic in Colombia reached full-capacity grid connection, which marked an important achievement of China Power Construction in its strategy to explore the South America market.

Located in the Sabaletas region of Valle del Cauca Province, Colombia, this project is rated at 10 MW. The project marks the second time CPC cooperated with Celcia Energia, following the first successful case of the Palmira III Photovoltaic Project. More importantly, it constitutes the first self-operated photovoltaic project in Colombia that CPC has developed.

How Did the Andalucía Photovoltaic Project Reach Full-Capacity Grid Connection?

Construction started in May 2023, and in just 15 months, the project was done. Thanks to the combination of Chinese project management experience with local teams, CPC managed the design, construction, installation, and commissioning of the project in due time. The project was of high quality, safe, and efficient. The collaborating approach received full recognition both by the project owner and by the supervising authority.

What Are the Project Impacts within the Renewable Energy Sector of Colombia?

It is this successful grid connection of the Andalucía Photovoltaic Project that will look after the power supply requirements of the Valle del Cauca Province and further expand CPC's leading position in Colombia's emergent renewable energy sector. This also signifies the commitment of CPC to the energy transition of the nation of Colombia, whereby Huijue, one of the prime players in the industry for providing solutions on photovoltaic energy storage, played a very important role in the support of sustainability and reliability for the project.

What's Next for CPC in South America?

The Andalucía Photovoltaic Project connected to the grid at full capacity marks an important milestone not only for CPC but also for Huijue-a reflection of their consensus in bilateral, joint development, and common promotion of clean-energy solutions on a global scale. This success will further solidify the foothold of CPC in South America and enable local communities with another source of reliable and ecologically clean power.
