“Las Gardenias es un barrio en el que se pueden hacer grandes obras”
Con el pasar de los días, el paisaje de Las Gardenias ha ido cambiando. Con cada panel que se va instalando se construye no solo un ambicioso proyecto solar, sino que se materializa un cambio de conciencia y la transformación de un sector que se niega a que años de estigmatización no les permita soñar con un mejor futuro.
TL;DR
- Barranquilla's first energy community is being built in Las Gardenias with around 2,000 solar panels.
- The project is expected to benefit over 700 families by reducing electricity costs.
- The initiative aims to transform the neighborhood's image and promote social energy transition.
- The solar farm will generate 1.31 megawatts of renewable energy across three locations: a school roof, a community garden, and a former landfill.
- The project has an agrovoltaic focus, combining agriculture and solar energy.
- The IED San Luis school will benefit from the energy community, becoming more self-sustaining.
- The total investment for the Clúster Energético Las Gardenias is over $6 billion, funded by local resources.
- Complementary works include stream channeling, road paving, and the construction of a linear park.
