The Energy for Peace (E4P) Global Development Alliance (GDA) is a collaboration among the companies: ISA Conexiones, Ecopetrol, Suncolombia, and USAID #ColombiaMission. It demonstrates the vital role #blendedfinance can play in catalyzing private sector investment to deliver clean energy to hard-to-reach off grid communities that are critical for peace and development. E4P was established in response to a complex and challenging scenario. Years of conflict have resulted in significant underinvestment, depressing income potential and hindering productive capacity. Many rural communities in #Colombia continue to grapple with the absence of a dependable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable source of energy. Public Agencies have struggled in this environment to ensure #energyaccess, and the #financialsustainability of donated energy projects has been weak. Meanwhile, the private sector has been deterred by high costs and risks and consumers’ limited ability to pay for services.

JUST ANNOUNCED: The government of Colombia (Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible), they Mayor of Bogotá Carlos Fernando Galan, Conservación Internacional Colombia and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) support for the development of a project to transform water security in the Bogotá region. The decision comes as the region faces severe water shortages due to an ongoing drought. The Building a Water-Resilient Bogotá-Region Landscape project aims to reduce climate risk for half a million people from highly vulnerable rural communities and 250,000 urban residents. The long-term vision for this effort is to promote a shift from traditional water management to integrated, ecosystem-based approaches. “The GCF’s support is a critical first step toward building a more resilient future for Bogotá and its surrounding regions. This proposal represents a unique opportunity to harness the power of nature and science to address the water challenges facing millions of people,” said Fabio Arjona, Vice President of Conservation International-Colombia. “By investing in ecosystem restoration and conservation, we can reduce the region's vulnerability to droughts and floods and ensure a sustainable water supply for generations to come. We are deeply grateful for GCF’s early support.” LEARN MORE:

Can natural infrastructure address water risks? In the last 15 years, #Peru has increased investments in nature-based solutions from zero to over $50 million through innovative financing mechanisms for restoring and conserving ecosystem services. Through technical and financial assistance, capacity building, tool development, and strategic support to key institutions, the Natural Infrastructure for Water Security Project, co-funded by USAID and the Government of Canada, has developed 80 projects to address water and climate risks through nature-based solutions.

This is the final call for our Zoom webinar of May 2, 2024, which you should not miss: Opportunities and Challenges in Climate and Energy in Latin America and the Caribbean – How IFC Fosters Private Sector Engagement. Income inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean remains high, despite significant progress the region has made in reducing poverty over the past few years. The World Bank Group’s IFC - International Finance Corporation works to foster inclusive growth, boost innovation, and strengthen regional integration. Energy and Climate is a key pillar of IFC's business in Latin America and the latter accounts for more than half of IFC’s new business in the region. IFC estimates that in the past 20 years, the region has lost approximately 1.7% of GDP every year due to weather-related disasters. Therefore, IFC is set to ramp up its climate and energy finance even more to support private sector investments in such a crucial sector. In fiscal year 2023, IFC delivered $1.8 billion of funding from its own account in climate finance and mobilized $3.3 billion from other investors. This webinar will introduce IFC’s offering to Swiss companies looking to invest in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to showcase project examples in the energy and climate space. See details of our high-level panelists from IFC Elizabeth Martinez de Marcano, Marcela Ponce Perez, Miguel Toledo, and Jan van Bilsen, as well as from Switzerland Global Enterprise Christian Michel. The webinar will be moderated by Dr. Philippe G. Nell with introductory remarks given by LATCAM President Ramon Esteve. We look forward to your virtual participation.

🚀 **Announcing the Independence Green Energy Hub!** 🌿 **Location:** Cantoral, Distrito Central, outside Tegucigalpa, Honduras **Prepared by:** Daniel Lardizabal, MadCaf L.L.C. We are thrilled to unveil the Independence Green Energy Hub, a groundbreaking project aimed at revolutionizing renewable energy and sustainability in Honduras. This multifaceted initiative leverages the abundant natural resources of our beautiful country to create a self-sustaining, economically beneficial, and environmentally friendly energy ecosystem. 🌊 Hydroelectric Phase Our hydroelectric plant, utilizing the consistent flow of the Imalapa River, is designed to generate 4 MW of clean energy. With an expected annual output of approximately 0.60 GWh, this facility is a cornerstone of our commitment to renewable energy. ☀️ Solar Farm Harnessing the high solar radiation in the region, our solar farm will start with a capacity of 60 MW, scalable up to 150 MW. Equipped with 550W solar panels, this farm will ensure a continuous and reliable power supply, backed by advanced battery systems to stabilize the grid and prevent blackouts. 🔋 Hysata Electrolysis System Efficiently producing hydrogen and oxygen, the Hysata electrolysis system feeds directly into our ammonia production process. Using Mitsubishi Power’s Ammonia-Capable Gas Turbines, each 40 MW unit will convert ammonia into a carbon-free power source. This integration is crucial for securing self-reliance and enhancing operational efficiency. 🌾 Wheat Milling Process Starting with a capacity of 50 tons and scalable according to needs, our wheat milling process is designed to bolster local agriculture. By identifying and cultivating suitable wheat harvesting areas, we aim to reduce reliance on imports and support local farmers, contributing to food security and agricultural sustainability. 💻 AI-Powered Data Center Our state-of-the-art AI-powered data center will support various industrial operations and provide enterprise-level data processing services. Leveraging on-site renewable energy, this facility will enhance operational efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint. 🌍 Economic and Environmental Impact By producing hydrogen, oxygen, ammonia, and fertilizers locally, the Independence Green Energy Hub will reduce Honduras' dependency on imports, support local agriculture, and create job opportunities. This initiative will stimulate the local economy and attract international investments, all while promoting sustainability and energy independence. Join us in this transformative journey towards a greener, more sustainable future for Honduras. The Independence Green Energy Hub is not just a project—it's a vision for a self-reliant and prosperous nation. For more information, contact Daniel Lardizabal at MadCaf L.L.C. Let's power the future together! 🌟🔋🌾 #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #Hydropower #SolarEnergy #Hydrogen #Ammonia #DataCenter #AI #Agriculture #Honduras #EnergyIndependence #MadCafLLC
