Renewable Energy in Colombia is rapidly emerging as a pioneer in the clean energy transition, showcasing a remarkable commitment to climate action despite its status as a fossil fuel-producing nation. With a robust National Energy Plan extending to 2050, the country has set ambitious targets for diversifying its energy. .
The wind regime in Colombia is among the best in South America. Offshore regions of the northern part of Colombia, such as in the , have been classified with class 7 winds (over 10 meters per second. .
Colombia has significant resources because of its location in the equatorial zone, but the country sits in a complex region of the Andes where climatic conditions vary. The daily average radiation is 4.5 kWh/m2, and the area with the best solar resource. .
Colombia has a great biomass power potential from agricultural residues (banana, coffee pulp, and animal waste). Its annual biomass power potential is estimated to be over 16 GWh, which is still less than 0.1% of current electricity production. The potential. .
The former Colombian Institute of Electrical Energy, today IPSE, and the Latin American Energy Organization have identified three areas with potential: • Azufral, in , where the Volcano. .
