Solarpack Completes Grid Connection of 144 MW La Unión Solar Plant in Colombia

Solarpack, the Spanish renewable energy company, has announced the successful grid connection of its 144 MW La Unión solar plant located in Montería, Córdoba department, Colombia.

The project, requiring a $100 million investment, generated 1,276 jobs during its construction phase, with a significant portion filled by local workers, as stated by the company.

Last November, Solarpack secured financing totaling $134.5 million for La Unión and another project, La Mata, with support from IDB Invest and Bancolombia.

Solarpack was awarded these projects in Colombia’s recent long-term renewable energy auction, securing contracts for a total of 1,123 MWh/day with an average price of 155.8 Colombian pesos per kWh (approximately $0.041 USD per kWh).

The completion of La Unión reinforces Solarpack’s commitment to expanding renewable energy capacity in Colombia and contributes to the country’s sustainable energy goals.
