The project of the company Parque Solar Puerta de Oro SAS seeks to transport 300 MW of electrical energy generated in the Park, licensed in 2022.
Ana María Llorente, deputy director of Evaluation of Environmental Licenses at ANLA, stated that “the licensing of this transmission line is a great advance for the development of renewable energy generation, especially taking into account what the country is experiencing due to of climate change and the urgent need to find other sources of generation, which will contribute to the national energy matrix.”
