Colombian youth are looking forward to a brighter future as the Ituango Hydropower Plant, constructed by the Power Construction Corporation of China, moves closer to completion. This massive project, the largest hydropower station currently under construction in the Americas, is set to meet 12% of Colombia’s electricity needs once finished.
Helen Sáez, a Colombian working on the project, expressed her excitement about the collaboration. “The Ituango Hydropower Project opens a new chapter in large-scale projects and commercial cooperation between China and Colombia by utilizing renewable resources such as wind and water,” she said.
Sáez believes this partnership is just the beginning. “I hope this good relationship continues to grow. We can take full advantage of China’s technology and Colombia’s resources to achieve sustainable development for our country,” she added.
The hydropower plant not only promises significant advancements in Colombia’s renewable energy sector but also symbolizes the strengthening ties between the two nations. For many young Colombians, it represents hope for sustainable growth and a testament to what international cooperation can achieve.
