Once again, the Enerland Group team was present at Energyear Colombia 2025, held in Medellín. Carolina Sandoval, Head of Business Development in the country, took part as a speaker on one of the panels.
On 28 and 29 May, the the most relevant congress in Colombia's renewable energy industry: Energyear Colombia 2025. In this edition, Carolina Sandoval, our Head of Business Development for the region, took part as a speaker in the discussion panel "Solar developments in Colombia: strategies and challenges to turn projects into a reality in the country". In 2024, it was our colleague Erika Rueda who represented the company in one of the event's segments, as we shared at the time in this article.
During her speech, Carolina spoke about her experiences in commercial development in the sector, highlighting the importance of close engagement with communities. She also addressed the role of distributed generation and its contribution to the sustainable growth of the industry. “It was an honour to be part of this panel, where important topics in the development of projects in Colombia were discussed,” Carolina told us.
Among the panel's conclusions, the following stood out:
1. The search for strategies among project stakeholders is highly relevant to their progress.
2. Understanding the country's needs, from the technical side through to the cultural one, makes projects more successful.
3. Bringing in new technologies such as storage systems would prevent imbalance in the system.
