Solar energy is on the rise and represents – on an industrial scale – the most attractive renewable source due to lower costs and a relatively fast construction period. In Colombia, there are more than 294 clean energy projects that seek to supply the growing demand for electricity. According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, 12 photovoltaic energy projects are underway in the Caribbean region, including the 'La Loma' solar farm, in the department of Cesar.

Is worth to mention that Nexans is leading the promotion of renewable energies, as it has experience in the supply of cables for solar farms participating in projects of more than 470 MW in Colombia. Nexans is leading the change towards the new world of electrification, safer, more sustainable, renewable, decarbonized and accessible to all.
