Zelestra

We are honored to have participated in the India-Spain "Green Energy" Day. Our Chief Developer Officer, Jaime Burguete, joined the panel discussion, promoting international investment cooperation and joint ventures between the two countries. In the discussion, Jaime emphasized Zelestra's commitment to the Indian market, highlighting the challenges and opportunities in the renewable energy sector. He shared insights into our growth in India, where Zelestra today has 138 MW in operation, 435 MW under construction, 1.5 GW contracted or awarded, and more than 3 GW development pipeline. This event brought together industry leaders to explore collaboration in India’s decarbonization journey. We look forward to continuing our efforts to support India’s sustainable growth!

The "Zelestra FutureS" program keeps advancing in Seville! 29 students from 1st-year Vocational Training in Renewable Energies at IESHeliopolis have visited the 62MW Grullas project in Lora del Río. Guided by volunteers from Zelestra, including Moisés Román, Santiago Maldonado, Nicolás Monclova, and Rubén Ruedas Ariza, they learned about the operation and maintenance of solar plants.   On this International Day against Climate Change, Zelestra reaffirms its commitment to fighting this global challenge through initiatives like the FutureS program, a key part of its "3Es" Energy, Education, and Environment social investment strategy. This program seeks to upskill local talent to co-create and innovate for a carbon-free future by linking academic learning with industry practices and by providing educational opportunities in renewables.   Supporting local communities is at the heart of Zelestra's mission. By working closely with them, the Company aims to improve their living conditions by promoting local development. The extension of the FutureS program to all the regions in which Zelestra operates, in partnership with United Way, creates an equitable learning environment that fosters innovation, diversity and inclusion as cross-cutting principles in all of the Company's initiatives.    #ZelestraFutureS #Sustainability #UWECommunity #Innovation #Volunteering

We are thrilled to celebrate a significant milestone in our journey towards clean energy in Colombia. We have inaugurated our 144 MWdc La Unión solar plant with the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro; the Minister of Energy and Mines, Andrés Camacho Morales; the Swedish Ambassador to Colombia, Helena Storm; the Governor of Córdoba, Erasmo Zuleta Bechara; and Hugo Kerguelén, Mayor of Montería.   La Unión is a tangible example of how Zelestra, with its fully integrated structure, can develop renewable energy projects from start to finish, ensuring the highest quality and efficiency. Furthermore, this project has created over 1,276 local jobs, highlighting that our efforts extend beyond building energy infrastructure; they also involve engaging the community at every step of the process to create a positive, long-term impact.   We are committed to decarbonization, and Colombia plays a key role in this transition.   We would like to congratulate Alejandro Ospina Morales, our Country Manager for Zelestra Colombia, Jaime Arévalo Ozcoidi, Chiara Gasparrini and the entire team for making this project possible.   Lastly, we cannot overlook the extensive coverage this milestone has received in the Colombian press.
