Colombian LAND
The Sinú-San Jacinto basin, one of the most promising geological formations in the country for geothermal exploration, is located in the Colombian Caribbean. It brings together three exceptional conditions: geothermal anomalies confirmed by the SGC, pre-existing logistical and energy infrastructure, and direct connection to the National Interconnected System. The SGC identifies it as one of the priority zones for geothermal exploration in Colombia.
Colombia is one of the Latin American countries with the greatest geothermal potential.
The Colombian State (SGC-ANH) estimates a generation potential of approximately 1,170 MW in the national territory. However, to date, no geothermal project operates commercially in the country.
The Colombian Caribbean represents one of the least explored frontiers of this potential.
Unlike the volcanic systems of the Andes, the Sinú–San Jacinto sedimentary basin offers an accessible medium-enthalpy geothermal resource, close to existing electrical infrastructure and located in a region with high energy demand.
Featured KPI: 1,170 MW — Estimated national geothermal potential, with not a single MW in commercial operation.
In northwestern Colombia, in the departments of Sucre and Córdoba, there is a geothermal anomaly documented in multiple geophysical studies conducted by Colombian government entities. Available data reveal a system with the technical characteristics required for the development of firm renewable power generation.
Strategic position
The TEPEW exploration area offers the geological conditions for geothermal development and boasts an optimal logistical and energy position to connect the generated power to the National Interconnected System.
Approximately 14 km from the Coveñas electrical substation (230 kV) and 15 km from Toluviejo, the generated power can be directly connected to the NIS without the need for long-range transmission infrastructure.
The project is located in a strategic corridor with direct road access on the Troncal de Occidente, a short distance from the main cities of the Caribbean region — Sincelejo, Montería, and Cartagena —, the industrial infrastructure of Coveñas, and the Colombian Caribbean seaports.
