We have officially connected the 108 MW La Mata solar plant to the grid in Colombia! This is the our second project in Colombia. Jose Luis Garcia Perez, Zelestra’s CEO in Latin America stated, “This milestone is critical for Zelestra as we pursue a very ambitious plan for the region to meet its decarbonization goals. We have been present in Chile and Peru for many years, and now we are consolidating our presence in Colombia, a country where we aim to grow in the coming years.” Zelestra is the largest independent generator of non-conventional renewables in Colombia and has also recently connected the 144 MW La Unión project in Colombia. These projects represent a significant contribution to Colombia’s energy transition and reaffirm Zelestra’s commitment to sustainability goals in Latin America and in the country. #decarbonization #Colombia #renewables #energy #milestone #solar https://lnkd.in/dfG6McFA
