Colombian company UPME reported that the total installed photovoltaic capacity in the country reached 1,193 MW.

It was noted that the country’s installed solar capacity has crossed the 1 GW threshold following the recent commissioning of 240 MW of solar power by Enel Colombia, the local subsidiary of Italian energy company Enel.

La Loma, a 150 MW power plant in the Cesar department, and Fundación, a 90 MW power plant in the Magdalena department, are located in northern Colombia.

UPME said 637.08 MW of solar and wind projects are close to commercial launch.
