On the waters of Turbaco, Bolívar, in Colombia, Astronergy has partnered with Enexa, a leading local energy developer, to build the country’s largest floating photovoltaic power station—the Yurbaqua 2.8MW solar project. Astronergy supplied all the photovoltaic modules for the project, driving Colombia’s energy transition with high-efficiency technology.
The Yurbaqua 2.8MW solar plant is also the second-largest floating photovoltaic project in Latin America. Spanning over 18,000 square meters of water surface, it makes efficient use of aquatic space, conserves land resources, and enables intensive dual-purpose production. The project is expected to generate approximately 4.72 million kWh of clean electricity annually—enough to meet the electricity needs of 3,000 households—while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 3,180 tons. It serves as a model for promoting a greener energy structure and exploring environmentally friendly development approaches in the region.
The project is being developed in two phases. The first phase, with a capacity of 1.37MW, is scheduled to be connected to the grid in June 2025, while the second phase, also 1.37MW, is expected to be completed in January 2026. Both phases are equipped with Astronergy’s ASTRO N5 bifacial double-glass modules. The ASTRO N5 modules feature outstanding power generation performance, high bifaciality, and exceptional reliability, enabling higher energy output even in complex aquatic environments. This ensures the long-term stable operation and high returns of the power plant.
