The brewing company Bavaria AB InBev and Enel Colombia have signed a power-purchase agreement (PPA) through which Bavaria’s electricity needs will be supplied for 15 years with non-conventional renewable energy in seven breweries, two malting plants and a labeling plant located in different cities across Colombia, starting in February 2024.
The renewable energy that Bavaria will use to produce 100 percent of its beers will be generated in the first stage of the Guayepo I & II solar park (486.7 megawatts), located in Ponedera, Atlantico. This first phase (Guayepo I) will have an installed capacity of 221 megawatts, of which 50 percent, or about 250 gigawatt-hours per year will be dedicated to supplying the brewery.
“We are working towards the decarbonization of the economy and non-conventional renewable energies are one of the key pillars, contributing to achieve a balanced, more reliable, safe and efficient energy matrix,” said Lucio Rubio Díaz, general mana
