EnfraGen Raises $620k to Fund Clean Energy Projects in Colombia

The company first announced the multi-year partnership and the funding of the first project with GivePower in July 2021. The first project provided a solar microgrid to supply power ro a local health post, agro-processing facility, and school for the Kogi, an indigenous group living in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The project saw completion in January 2022, improving the lives of nearly 700 people.
The funds raised by GivePower will be put towards develop and build essential infrastructure projects across Colombia, consisting of solar microgrids, solar water farms and other projects aimed on providing access to clean energy and water to thousands of people living in some of the most at-risk communities.
“As an advocate for Latin America’s role in the global energy transition, we are thrilled by the support we’ve received to date for our partnership with GivePower, helping achieve our collective goal of providing communities with better access to clean energy sources,” said Brendan Duval, CEO & Founder, Glenfarne Group, and CEO, EnfraGen.
The project to follow will be a solar microgrid and battery energy storage system in Coqui, an “afrodescendiente” village located in the department of Choco in Colombia’s Pacific Coast.
This infrastructure will supply clean energy to a local coconut processing facility, one of the community’s most important small businesses and sources of employment and economic activity.
In addition, these donations will finance a solar-powered recycling center in the Juanchaco & Ladrilleros region of Bahia Malaga, a bay also situated in Colombia’s Pacific Coast.
