<\/p>\n
\nVentus se ha establecido en Colombia para poder trabajar de forma directa en proyectos de energ\u00edas renovables e\u00f3licos y solares. En este 2019 la empresa ha puesto foco en brindar soluciones de construcci\u00f3n EPC, tanto para las subastas a largo plazo, promovidas por el gobierno colombiano, as\u00ed como contribuyendo a que las industrias puedan incorporar energ\u00edas renovables en su matriz de consumos.
\nMuchas de las compa\u00f1\u00edas internacionales se han dado cita en nuestro pa\u00eds para apoyar el desarrollo de las energ\u00edas renovables. \u00a0En este marco Ventus ha ingresado en Colombia, trabajando junto a grandes firmas constructoras, con el objetivo de construir parques e\u00f3licos y solares y as\u00ed replicar los antecedentes generados en Uruguay, donde construy\u00f3 m\u00e1s de 30 proyectos renovables en modalidad EPC llave en mano.
\nParalelamente la empresa trabaja en soluciones PPA y EPC para autogeneraci\u00f3n industrial apoyados en la ley 1715 de promoci\u00f3n de inversi\u00f3n en energ\u00eda renovables.<\/p>\n
\nExiste un creciente inter\u00e9s por parte de industrias y empresas que solicitan el uso de energ\u00edas limpias. De hecho, muchas industrias nos han contactado solicitando el estudio previo para la implementaci\u00f3n de un proyecto renovables que, m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la tecnolog\u00eda empleada, les permita ahorrar en el costo de abastecimiento en el campo de la energ\u00eda verde.
\nEn este contexto, Ventus tiene amplia experiencia asesorando a m\u00e1s de 50 empresas en Uruguay, donde hemos construido proyectos e\u00f3licos y solares de acuerdo a necesidades de las industrias.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>La ley 1715 fue lanzada por el gobierno colombiano para promover el uso de energ\u00edas limpias para incentivar a los inversionistas y promotores a invertir en el pa\u00eds. La ley promovida en el a\u00f1o 2014, otorga beneficios fiscales para industrias permiti\u00e9ndoles descontar hasta un 50% de la inversi\u00f3n en proyectos de energ\u00edas renovables.
\nPara este tipo de proyectos es importante puntualizar que existen importantes desgravaciones de aranceles para productos o servicios importados y exclusi\u00f3n del IVA, lo cual potencian a\u00fan m\u00e1s el atractivo de este tipo de proyectos.
\nLocalmente percibimos que hay una conciencia por parte de los industriales acerca del consumo de energ\u00edas limpias.\u00a0 Paralelamente, aquellas industrias que tributan m\u00e1s, han manifestado un creciente inter\u00e9s por bajar el costo de su consumo de energ\u00eda.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Para una industria, dependiendo de su demanda y su consumo de energ\u00eda, la amortizaci\u00f3n de un proyecto renovable (dependiendo de los a\u00f1os que utilice ese descuento de renta), puede alcanzar per\u00edodos de repago de 5 a\u00f1os. Esto es tremendamente conveniente para las industrias, considerando que los proyectos de energ\u00edas renovables tienen una vida \u00fatil que promedia los 25 a\u00f1os.
\nEn Ventus hemos construido varios proyectos para industrias que han logrado repagar sus proyectos renovables de forma exitosa en per\u00edodos muy cortos.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Siempre hay espacio para mejorar las condiciones de una subasta de energ\u00eda. Colombia est\u00e1 comenzando su camino hacia la inclusi\u00f3n de Energ\u00edas Renovables. En este caso, creo que es perfectible la alineaci\u00f3n entre la subasta de la oferta con la demanda.
\nDe todos modos, en Ventus somos optimistas sobre el rumbo que han ido tomando las energ\u00edas renovables en el pa\u00eds. Creemos que a trav\u00e9s de una mayor capacitaci\u00f3n de todos los actores del sector, incluyendo los beneficios que el sector industrial tiene al invertir en este tipo de tecnolog\u00eda, lograremos que Colombia avance hacia una matriz m\u00e1s renovable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We started operating with a local team since 2017 in Bogot\u00e1, supported by the more than 120 professionals that integrate Ventus in the rest of Latin America.
\nVentus has established in Colombia to work directly on wind and solar renewable energy projects. In this 2019 the company is focused on providing EPC construction solutions, both for long-term auctions, promoted by the Colombian government, as well as helping industries include renewable energies into their consumption matrix.
\nMany international companies have gathered in our contry to promote the development of renewable energy. In this framework Ventus has entered Colombia, working with large construction companies, with the aim of building wind and solar farms and replicate the experience generated in Uruguay, where he built more than 30 renewable projects in EPC modality.
\nAt the same time, the company is working on PPA and EPC solutions for industrial self-generation, thanks to the 1715 law which promotes the investment in renewable energy.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>There is growing interest from industries and companies that request the use of clean energy. In fact, many industries have contacted us requesting preliminary studies for the implementation of a renewable project that, beyond the technology used, may allow them to save on their costs through green energy supplying.
\nIn this context, Ventus has extensive experience advising more than 50 companies in Uruguay, where we have built wind and solar projects according to the needs of the industries.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Law 1715 was launched by the Colombian government to promote the use of clean energy to encourage investors and developers to invest in the country. The law promoted in 2014 grants tax benefits for industries allowing them to cut up to 50% of the investment in renewable energy projects.
\nFor this type of projects, it is important to point out that there are important cost reductions for imported products or services and tax cuts, which improves the attractiveness of this type of project.
\nLocally we perceive that industries are aware of the need of consuming clean energies. At the same time, those industries that pay the most, have shown a growing interest in lowering the cost of their energy consumption.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>For an industry, depending on its demand and its energy consumption, the repay of a renewable project (depending on the years that this rent discount is used), can reach repayment periods of 5 years. This is tremendously convenient for industries, considering that renewable energy projects have a lifespan of 25 years.
\nAt Ventus we have built several projects for industries that have managed to repay their renewable projects successfully in very short periods.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>There is always room to improve the conditions of an energy tender. Colombia is beginning its journey towards the inclusion of Renewable Energies. In this case, I believe that the alignment between the auction of supply and demand is perfectible.
\nAnyway, at Ventus we are optimistic about the direction that renewable energies have taken in the country. We believe that through greater training of all the players in the sector, including the benefits that the industrial sector has when investing in this type of technology, we will be able to move Colombia towards a renewable matrix.<\/p>\n
