Matrix Renewables and Trina Solar have started the commercial operation of the 27.23 MW Bosques Solares de los Llanos photovoltaic plant located in the municipality of Puerto Gaitán, Department of Meta, Columbia.
The project will allow the reduction of 19,450 tons of CO2 per year and will be able to generate the equivalent of the annual energy consumption of 23,800 families. This is the second of the three plants located in the Los Llanos area that are part of the agreement signed between Trina Solar and Matrix Renewables, to build about 425 MW of solar projects in Colombia in the next two years.
