Ecopetrol and Frontera Energy commissioned a large solar panel park called Quifa Solar Farm, located in Puerto Gaitán (Meta). This project has already begun generating clean electricity for three oil and gas extraction fields: Quifa, Rubiales, and Caño Sur.
This is the first time, on a large scale, that an oil operation in Colombia is powered by solar energy.
The farm features:
Colombia positions itself as a benchmark in Latin America for decarbonization of the oil industry, demonstrating that renewable energies can be integrated with hydrocarbon production, making the sector more sustainable without ceasing oil and gas production.
It is worth noting that this is the second largest solar project of the Ecopetrol Group, showing that the energy transition is already a reality, not just a promise.
