Green Energy

Atlas Renewable Energy recently launched the Shangri-La solar project, which is located in Ibagué, Tolima. It has a capacity of 201 MW, making it one of the largest in Colombia. Atlas Renewable Energy is an international renewable energy generation company with headquarters in Miami, Florida.

One data point that really stands out about this solar facility in Colombia — it can generate enough electricity each year to be ‘‘equivalent to the energy consumption of over 214,000 Colombian families.”

Hydropower generates most electricity in Colombia, with only a little solar power present. However, Colombia has had quite a bit of investment in solar power within the last year or so.
