• Strom wird hauptsächlich aus Wasserkraft erzeugt.
• Gesamte installierte Leistung in Kolumbien (2002): 13.168 MW
• Generation Mix:
Hydro Gas Kohle Andere
66% 28% 5% 1%
• Weiteres Wasserkraftpotential besteht und wird auch zur Zeit ausgebaut. Keine Stromimporte aus dem Ausland.
• Keine Netzanbindung zu Brasilien, Panama und Peru, geringe Kapazität zu Venezuela.
• In Zukunft wird das kolumbanische Netz an ein überregionales Netz, was vom NAFTA Raum bis Kolumbien und Venezuela reichen soll, angeschlossen. Dadurch entstehen Strom-Export-Möglichkeiten.
Strom-Mix Kolumbien
We‘ve got the power
• Der Strommarkt ist komplett liberalisiert.
• Angebot und Nachfrage werden über ein Pool-System geregelt.
• Es gibt keine Subventionen für Strom aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen.
• Nur Stromerzeuger mit einer max. Kapazität von bis zu 20 MW erhalten ein permanentes Einspeiserecht. Verkauf erfolgt zu Poolpreisen.
• Deshalb wurde die Kapazität für Jepirachi mit 19,5 MW festgelegt.
• Das Pilotprojekt Jepirachi soll herangezogen werden, um zu beurteilen, ob Windkraft eine wirtschaftliche, zusätzliche Stromquelle für Kolumbien darstellt.

•The wind farm will be constructed within indigenous territory owned by the Wayúu
•Colombia‘s constitution acknowledges the traditional rights of the ethnic minorities
•The Wayúu council of elders had to grant a concession to the public works
•EPM conducted complex environmental studies, considered the local interests and are paying attention to the needs and objections of the indigenous group
•A special education programm for EPM employees and contractors focussing on a positive intercultural exchange for a smooth implementation of the project
•A list of compensation measures were agreed with the Wayúu, including the supply with drinking water by a desalination plant and other health measures
•Generation of local income and the creation of new jobs

International Benefits:
•EPM signed a sales contract for Carbon Certificates under the Emission Reductions Purchase Agreement (ERPA) with the Prototype Carbon Fund operated by the World bank
•The sale of around 800.000 tons of avoided CO2 emissión during the first 14 years of operation of the wind plant results in approx. 3,2 Mio US$ additional income to EPM and thus helps to improve the overall economics of the project.
Due to lower prices achievable on the market for the certificates EPM exspects only a reduced income in accordance with the latest information gathered.
Local Benefits:
•Already in 2002 EPM received the certificate, that the „Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología“ includes the project Jepirachi in the list of „Innovative Technology“
•As a consequence EPM can count the investment costs towards the pre-tax profits
•Local tax benefits help to boost renewable energy projects in the start phase
Financial structure of the project:
-EPM is financing 100% of the project costs with equity

Special Technical Issues of the project Jepirachi

•Due to the excellent wind conditions the broadly proven N60, certified in Germanischer Lloyed class I, has been selected applying the robust stall technology of Nordex with less O&M works and reduced wear and tear (fewer movable parts)
•Local crane is available in Colombia what lowers installation costs significantly
•EPM will conduct a broad study supported by Nordex referred to the operation of this wind farm under Carribian wind and climatic conditions; Target: to install furhter 200 MW; optimize design of turbines and improve operation
•Power curve measurement will be conducted by an international independent consultant on site
•Implimentation of a modern WEB-side based Windfarm management and Scada system, developped by Nordex
•Application of the hot climate version for the installed turbines and special features to prevent sensible turbine components from the penetration of fine sand and carbon particles

The necessary steps for a successful wind farm I
Page 33
For wind projects in particular:
-Legal Conditions: wind projects can not guarrantee any power out put, obligation of purchasing all generated energy independent from time of dispatch must be in force
-Wind Resource Study: wind conditions need to be assessed by an independant consultant; at least 1 year wind measurements on site to be undertaken; (special international programms such as the TERNA programm from German GTZ exist in order to perform and finance wind resources studies)
-Complex planning as wind projects are often installed in remote areas not declared for industrial use
For IPP projects in general and for wind projects the following aspects have to be considered:
-Check of Legal conditions: Regulation of IPPs and PPAs
-Project idea and location of the project
-Analysis of the environmental, social and climatic conditions
-Analysis of the demand situation and the grid connection points with sufficient capacity
-Land lease/purchase agreements for the project site
-Passing through the permission process on all administrative levels

The necessary steps for a successful wind farm II
Page 34
For wind projects in particular:
-Design of lay-out of the wind farm, using the wind data; recomended minimum size of a wind farm: 20 MW which enhances reasonable pricing of the manufacturers and opens possibilities for internationl financing
-Research on special subsidies for renewabel energies (national and international); special attention should be paid to: Denmark, Germany, Spain and USA (home of most turbine manufacturers)
-Consideration of allready existing Carbon Fund Certificates traded on the market
-Tender documents should include specific wind and climatical data, nominated power of wind turbines to install
For IPP projects in general and for wind projects:
- Design of plant
-Feasibility studies
-Negotiation of the PPA contract
-Identification of Project Sponsors and financing institutions, applying for subsidies from national and/or international funds
-Tax planning
-Softloan posibilities (checking, whether funds are still available within bi-lateral agreements)
-Tender process in order to get valid offers considering the exchange rate risk

The necessary steps for a successful wind farm III
Page 35
For wind projects in particular:
-Special attention in wind projects should be paid to the accessibility of the location for heavy and long trucks and cranes including the obtaining of the associated land leaves;
-Vicinity of site to a suitable port
-Detailed soil report for all turbine locations should be effected
-Crane availability in the country for erection of wind turbines on site
-Availability of grid connection capacity according to erection schedule of wind turbines already after first installations
For IPP projects in general and for wind projects:
-Construction and supply contract conditions should fulfil international standards including applicable law and arbitrary in order to avoid overpricing because of political or juridical risks
-Reaching of Financial Close (Project sponsors and financing banks)
-Award of contracts and start of construction works supervised by an independent Engineering Company
