Background
The two-unit Termosolo power station is proposed as part of a larger project involving construction of the Puerto Solo Energy Port, a new fuel import facility on Colombia's Pacific coast.[15][16] Once completed, the plant's two units are to receive LNG (liquefied natural gas) or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) from the associated port.[17][15][16] As of December 2020, environmental permitting for the $194 million power plant was underway[18], and in January 2021 the Colombian government gave its final approval for construction of the port.[15] Fuel for the plant will be imported from the United States using project developer SeaOne Holdings' proprietary CGL™ (Compressed Gas Liquid) technology.[16][19]
Plans originally called for the plant to begin operating in December 2022[20][17], but a September 2021 filing by SeaOne Holdings to the U.S. Department of Energy indicated that commercial operations would begin no earlier than 2023[16], and a subsequent filing dated September 2022 pushed the date back to the fourth quarter of 2024.[21] A 230 kV transmission line will connect the power station to the grid.[18]
An audit report published on October 2023 concluded that SeaOne's subsidiary, Sociedad Portuaria Energética Multipropósito y Contenedores Puerto Solo Buenaventura S.A., had incurred in a series of contractual breaches, including there being "no infrastructure in the area where the project will be developed, no machinery, no offices, only the ZUP and adjacent lands are found in their natural state (forest - vegetation)”, and would be sanctioned accordingly.[22][23]
