Project scope and objective
The primary objective of the project is the consolidation and development of Greenwood Energy's wind power portfolio in La Guajira, Colombia (municipalities of Uribia and Maicao), structured into two key stages. The immediate focus is on advancing the Aura Portfolio, a high-development phase consisting of the Aura I and Aura II wind farms (formerly Alpha and Beta) with a combined capacity of 504 MW. This phase spans 388 hectares and features 92 licensed wind turbines, associated infrastructure, and an 80.45 km, 500 kV transmission line; currently, Aura I has completed its detailed engineering, access road, electrical substation, and campsite earthworks, alongside a 41% intervention of its approved area.

Early disclosure
For projects with high environmental or social risk an Environmental and Social Strategy (ESS) is prepared early on during the project appraisal and prior to carrying out the environmental and social due diligence (ESDD). The ESS includes the initial E&S risk categorization and a brief description of potential Performance Standards applicable to the project. The ESS for this project is available below. Together with the ESS, IDB Invest also provides access to the client’s preliminary E&S documents that will be reviewed during the ESDD. The client E&S documents for this project can be found under the “CLIENT FILES” section below. Once the environmental and social due diligence is completed, an Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) for the Project will be published on this page.
