Building on the successful Shangri-La project—which achieved commercial operation in late 2025 with 201 MWp capacity and provides around 403.7 GWh annually to supply over 214,000 homes—El Campano demonstrates ARE’s capacity to execute large-scale, technically robust solar projects with social and environmental considerations. ARE integrates programs such as “We Are Part of the Same Energy,” which promotes local workforce training and female employment in solar construction, fostering regional socioeconomic development. This approach aligns with ARE’s broader ESG commitments implemented throughout Latin America.
The deployment of El Campano is part of ARE’s wider ambition to bolster Colombia’s energy diversification and resiliency, reducing reliance on hydroelectric and fossil fuel-based generation. It represents a strategic addition to the country’s renewable energy mix, enhancing grid stability through solar power’s expanded presence while contributing to the nation’s low-carbon transition. ARE’s ongoing executions reinforce its position as a key player in the Colombian clean energy market, supporting sustainable growth and energy security with operational excellence.
