Mateo Mendoza, Expert in Structuring Renewable Energy Generation projects and partner of the law firm Mendoza, spoke about the challenges to develop offshore wind projects in Colombia.
Read moreI 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.
