SER Colombia has said wind companies will invest $1.8bn in Colombia after wind energy made up 83% of a recently awarded 1.3 GW renewables tender. The country’s renewable capacity is set to rise to 6% from 1% as a result of new wind and solar projects, and Colombia wants that to reach 17% by 2030. Trade association The Global Wind Energy Council, however, said the country needs new regulations to ensure the target is met.
