Diverxia Infrastructure, sponsor of the International Meeting on Renewable Energies of Riohacha (Colombia)
For two days the main players in renewable energies have met in the Colombian town of Riohacha with the aim of dissecting the present and future of the energy sector and its relationship with the sustainability of the planet. Diverxia Infrastructure, a leading company in the promotion and execution of infrastructures and specialist in renewable energy, has participated actively in this event as one of the sponsors.
During the meeting, organized by the Association of Renewable Energies of Colombia (SER) and the World Energy Council (WEC) and the National Federation of Departments (FND), the importance of the promotion of renewable energies has been emphasized, because are an effective tool for solving a three-pronged problem: accessibility, affordability and sustainability.
Renewables as a solution to a triple problem
In countries such as Colombia, the implementation of effective energy solutions presents a challenge with important economic, social and environmental implications, given that these countries, despite not having one of the highest CO2 emission rates, are continually exposed to meteorological phenomena that affect periodically their energy supply capacity.
In addition, renewable energies such as solar or wind are very easy to implement in rural or sparsely populated areas where the construction of other types of power plants would simply be unviable because of the high costs that would entail.
In this sense it was very illustrative the presentation of the Colombian Minister of Environment Luis Gilberto Murillo, who stated referring to the region in which the event is located, “if we proposed, here could generate the energy that consumes all of Colombia” .
Diverxia Infrastructure, involved in effective energy solutions in Latin America
Diverxia Infrastructure, a company specializing in renewable energies, is developing various projects in Colombia, with the aim of contributing to the implementation of effective energy solutions required by the Latin American country.
In Central and South America, most of the energy is generated by hydroelectric plants. However, cyclical periods of drought and other meteorological phenomena such as ‘el niño’ or ‘la niña’, compromise the energy security of these countries, which are forced to resort to fossil fuels in times of greater instability.
Through the implementation of renewable energy infrastructures, the aim is to solve the problem by compensating the effects of seasonality on energy production.
