CJR Renewables is currently present in more than 20 countries, with a track record of more than 7,400 MW.
In Latin America, the company has participated in 1,950 MW projects, performing Balance of Plant (BoP) for wind farms, Balance of System (BoS) for photovoltaic parks, and the construction of turnkey EPC projects. Raúl Pérez , the company's Business Development Manager for Latin America, told Energía Estratégica that market studies conducted by the company itself indicate that Chile and Colombia are the most promising countries for renewable energy development over the next five years.
All companies agree that Colombia has great potential.
In fact, the Government has already awarded 14 wind and solar projects in state auctions, for 1,958.2 MW, and the private sector is taking its own initiatives that could exceed that number.
Based on this, according to CJR calculations, 3,523 MW of renewable energy will have been built in that country in the next five years.
"By studying all the clients and their portfolios, we concluded that a delta of 2,550 MW of wind power and a minimum of 930 MW of solar power will be developed," Pérez points out.
Currently, CJR is building the BoP for the 200 MW Windpeshi Wind Farm, located in La Guajira and awarded by Enel Green Power in the Reliability Charge auction.
The company estimates that it will have completed its work on the project by early 2022.
Of those 3,523 MW estimated for 2025, at a rate of 705 MW per year, Pérez is confident that CJR could retain a minimum of 364 MW per year.
"We have our own Engineering Department, which allows us to develop Detailed Engineering in-house, which is an added bonus," the executive points out. 
Meanwhile , the Business Development Manager in Latin America believes that "after Colombia, Chile will continue to be the main country in the region.
Despite being a very mature market in terms of non-conventional renewable energies, Pérez observes that "due to decarbonization, all generators are migrating towards renewables.
The executive indicates that many of the projects that were on standby are likely to be reactivated at the beginning of the first quarter.
"2021 is going to be a very good year not only for CJR but for the Chilean market in general," he emphasizes.
The company is currently finishing four projects in Chile.
On one hand, the Malleco wind farm, with 273 MW; Negrete, with 36 MW; and Renaico II, with 142.8 MW; on the other hand, the Azabache solar park, with 60.9 MW.
"Malleco is 90% complete and Negrete is 95% complete," the manager commented, while estimating that by the end of November they will have finished the BoP work commissioned for each project.
