The wind turbines for Celsia’s first wind farm in Colombia have arrived

The wind turbines for building Celsia’s Carreto wind farm, which will have a capacity of 9.9 megawatts of clean and renewable energy, have arrived in the municipality of Juan de Acosta, in the department of Atlántico.
The transport of these 80-meter-long blades along the Caribbean roads required a significant prior logistical process to transport them from the Port of Mamonal, in Cartagena, to the municipality of Juan de Acosta.
The blades arrived by sea from the United States and Europe. This operation began in the early hours of Friday, October 4, and ended in the late hours of Sunday. “This was a gigantic logistical job that required a planning process, testing and coordination of many teams, both from the company and from the port, the transport company, security agencies and traffic authorities, since the blades or blades measure almost 80 meters in length,” explained Marcelo Álvarez, head of Generation at Celsia.
For his part, Ricardo Sierra, president of Celsia, said that “this project in the Atlantic, which we have been developing silently, is a symbol that winds can be found in other parts of the country, and that we can continue to believe in clean and efficient energy generated with this renewable resource.”
“At Celsia we are committed to the energy transition of Colombia, and that is why we studied different areas of the country with favorable conditions for wind generation,” he added.
The company estimates that the Carreto wind farm will generate 30 gigawatt hours of electric energy each year, like the two wind turbines it will have. It is expected to start operating in December 2024.
