I was struck by an article we published this week about a shopping mall which was ‘going green’. They were investing CoP$3B (about US$750,000) to build 7,800 square meters of rooftop solar panels that were going to produce just under 500 KWp. And all this effort was only going to offset about 20% of the mall’s electricity. That seems like a lot of effort for very little. I got to wondering about scale and how much it would take to offset Colombia’s fossil fuel-produced thermo-generation with solar.
