Energy infrastructure company Glenfarne Group said September 7 it had acquired the 93-MW Termonorte power plant near the port of Santa Marta in Colombia.

Termonorte has been operational since 2018 and can operate on either natural gas or liquid fuels. It has a direct connection to the Promigas gas pipeline.

“Termonorte plays a critical role for the energy transition in Colombia by offering a reliable, flexible generation resource in a region with limited firm capacity,” Glenfarne managing director Bryan Murphy said. “Termonorte’s attributes are an ideal complement to the intermittent renewable generation resources being deployed throughout the Caribbean region.”
