Noria Energy Introduces 1.5 MW Floating Solar Project at Colombia's Urra Dam in South America
The floating solar system is structured to sit on top of the water and withstand water-level fluctuations of up to 120 feet.

A new solar power system floating on the reservoir at Colombia's Urrá Dam will show that hydroelectric dams with fluctuating water levels can pair with floating solar generation to boost energy reliability and rise production.
Noria Energy CEO Jonathan Wank, added, "Worldwide, around 60% of renewable energy comes from hydropower. That represents countless opportunities to deploy floating solar that can maximize zero-emission energy generation and diversify clean energy sources".
Additionally, promoting the overall generating capacity of hydroelectric dams, Noria's floating solar systems can assist retain power flowing when low water levels or other adverse conditions minimise hydroelectric output.
The floating solar system is structured to sit on top of the water and stand up to water-level fluctuations of up to 120 feet.
Noria Energy, along with its alliances 1Solution, DISICO S.A, G&C, Isigenere, and Seaflex, designed, developed, and installed the floating photovoltaic system as a pilot project for the independent power producer URRÁ S.A. E.S.P.
Rafael Amaya del Vecchio, president of URRÁ S. A. E.S.P, added, "URRÁ seeks to incorporate innovation and sustainable development in all its operations. We are very proud that Aquasol is the largest floating photovoltaic plant built at a reservoir of a hydroelectric power plant in South America to date".
The Urrá pilot called Aquasol is established at the 340 MW Urrá hydropower plant in the Sinú River basin in Córdoba.
Aquasol comprises more than 2,800 solar modules and is anticipated to generate around 2,400 MWh of power in its first year sufficient to diminish the amount of energy it takes to operate the dam.
