Ecopetrol S.A. EC, a Colombian majority state-owned energy company, has recently acquired a wind power project from Enel S.p.A. for a total consideration of $50 million. The wind power project, named the Windpeshi project, is situated in the northern province of La Guajira in Colombia.Project OverviewThe company stated that the total installed capacity of the project is approximately 205 megawatts (MW). The power generated from the wind project will support the Ecopetrol Group’s energy requirements, implying that EC will utilize the power generated for self-consumption. The wind project will boast 41 turbines, each having a capacity of 5 MW. The Windpeshi project is expected to generate approximately 1,006 gigawatt hours of power annually. Ecopetrol Group CEO Ricardo Roa mentioned that this is equivalent to nearly 8-9% of the Ecopetrol Group’s total energy needs.Total Development Cost and TimelineThe total development cost of the Windpeshi project is estimated to be around $350 million, according to the Ecopetrol Group. The development costs are part of the Group’s broader investment plan. EC plans to start with the development process before year-end 2025, with commercial operations expected to begin by 2028.Colombia’s Clean Energy TargetsUnder president Gustavo Petro, the Colombian government is working to shift from traditional fossil fuels like oil and gas toward a cleaner energy mix. Colombia aims to expand its portfolio of renewable sources, including solar and wind power, to contribute to the nation’s energy needs while supporting its energy-transition strategy. However, the country is facing several setbacks in advancing these renewable energy projects. Onshore and offshore wind projects in the north have faced resistance from indigenous communities, along with regulatory hurdles that have delayed the projects' construction and development.
