Unergy, a Colombian start-up specializing in financing #renewableenergy ventures, has unveiled plans for its inaugural agrivoltaic projects in #Colombia. These initiatives will see the establishment of solar mini-farms strategically positioned in regions boasting solar radiation levels exceeding 1,800 kWh/kWp and with an inclination of less than 10 degrees. The targeted areas include lands near the #Atlantic coast, the Caribbean region, the northern territories, and the low valleys of the Andean region. #Unergy has revealed that it is currently advancing three projects at various stages of development. However, the company asserts that its portfolio boasts a pipeline of 1,000 mini-farms, with 18 already financed and in the implementation phase, while another 100 are in the financing process. The maiden #agrivoltaic endeavor is situated in Mompox, Bolívar department, where #Unergy is collaborating with a local agricultural entity experienced in cultivating patilla and chili. The second project, located in La Paz, Santander department, has been earmarked for the cultivation of cucurbits such as melon or watermelon, with plans to forge alliances with nearby peasant communities. The third project, operational as of April, is located in San Diego, Cesar department, where Unergy is set to plant 5,000 melon plants in #partnership with a local farmer. #Unergy #Colombia #RenewableEnergy #Agrivoltaics #SolarFarms #SustainableAgriculture #EnergyFinance #SouthAmerica #LatinAmerica To read more, visit: https://lnkd.in/djjDE7ZU
