Colombia's renewables share rises to 82% in March

 

Colombia produced 81.57% of its power from clean and renewable energy sources in March, XM Compania de Expertos en Mercados, operator of the national interconnected system (SIN), said.

In February, the clean share in the total power production was 72.61%.

Clean power plants generated 159.51 GWh per day on average in March, up by 8.74% month-on-month, with large and small hydro driving 97.9% of the output. Hydropower plants (HPPs) benefited from the impact of the La Nina phenomenon throughout the month, XM said.

More production details are given in the table below:

Types of Hydropower Plants

                                                   There are three types of hydropower facilities: impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage. Some hydropower plants use dams and some do not. The images below show both types of hydropower plants. MPOUNDMENT The most common type of hydroelectric power plant is an impoundment facility. An impoundment facility, typically a large hydropower system, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. The water may be released either to meet changing electricity needs or to maintain a constant reservoir level.                                                www....
