ReCap Solar Colombia

The goal of this campaign is to refinance two solar photovoltaic projects in the Cundinamarca region, in Colombia. This is the second project promoted by the ReCap Group through Goparity. ReCap is a Swedish organisation with over 10 years of experience in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.

Here are some of the main features of the projects:

Colégio Claretiano

Founded in 1958 by the claretian missionary Father Miguel Rodríguez, the school was initially a small studies center for children in the parish. Since then, the school has grown to be an important education hub in the region. The education proposal includes an impact strategy on people and the environment, developed in an organizational structure that favours human and spiritual qualities. Due to COVID-19, the school is providing remote classes and there has been no student withdrawing so far.

The solar PV plant installed this July and is expected to be connected to the grid by August. It has the following technical characteristics: 

• Installed capacity: 60,75 kWp  
• Estimated yearly production: 91,61 MWh  
• Yearly CO2 reduction: 35,4 tons

Agromonte

Agromonte has been in the flower business since 1984. Agromonte uses hydroponic cultivation, which allows for greater production in less space, minimizing the use of fertilizers and pesticides, thriving for producing with the highest quality. Agromonte has a special focus on the welfare of its employees, providing them with health care, stability, and education. Agromonte also understands its role as a development agent in its surrounding community and is committed to being a good role model, for example, by using solar energy.

The solar PV plant is connected to the grid since October 2019 and has the following technical characteristics:

• Installed capacity: 24,70 kWp  
• Estimated yearly production: 30,39 MWh   
• Yearly CO2 reduction: 11,82 tons
