A subsidiary of Denmark’s Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has submitted its bid in Colombia’s first offshore wind auction.
The country’s National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) announced that CIP’s subsidiary, CI GMF COÖPERATIEF UA, submitted a bid in Colombia’s first offshore wind tender.
According to Reuters, the government aims to award contracts for at least 1 GW of installed capacity.
Eight companies applied to participate in the first offshore wind auction and, in December 2024, all eight were announced to have pre-qualified.
The list includes CIP , which revealed its plans in the country earlier. Other companies that pre-qualified are BlueFloat Energy, China Three Gorges Corporation, Powerchina, UK-based Dyna Energy, Ecopetrol and Celsia, and Belgian offshore construction specialists DEME and Jan De Nul.
In March 2025, the government announced that it received nominations for 69 sites from the pre-qualified companies. The firms can submit proposals on areas of up to 270 square kilometres and projects with a minimum installed capacity of 200 MW.
According to Colombia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy, the country guarantees prices for 15 years, providing stability for investors and financial viability for new technologies.
