Voltalia Begins Construction of Solar Plant in Colombia

Voltalia, a key player in renewable energy, has announced the commencement of its first solar power project in Colombia. The Los Venados project, located in the Tolima region, will feature a capacity of 19.7 megawatts. The project, comprising over 33,000 solar panels, is supported by a 15-year contract with private sector clients.

This installation is expected to fulfill the annual electricity needs of more than 40,000 residents and prevent about 23,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year. The plant is set to be operational by the first quarter of 2026.

Voltalia has actively explored Colombian opportunities since 2019, with over 350 megawatts in development. The CEO, Robert Klein, expressed optimism about forging new partnerships and projects in the rapidly evolving renewable energy market of Colombia.
