In the latter part of the 2010s, the renewable energy sector in South America underwent a notable transformation characterized by a significant surge in renewable capacity and a growing dependence on renewable energy sources. Andina Energy, a construction firm specializing in renewable energy projects, was among the enterprises that launched operations in 2017 to tap into this potential market. The company received support from the Andina Group and collaborated with Andina Freight, an international cargo agent, to facilitate its endeavors.
To help clients meet their construction requirements for renewable energy projects, Andina Energy offers comprehensive services that enable the timely completion of projects. This is particularly crucial as involving multiple providers in renewable energy projects can heighten the risk of unexpected disruptions.
Andina Energy’s business units are well-equipped to handle various aspects of renewable energy projects. The company offers engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for high-scale and SMDG projects and provides energy engineering and commissioning services for residential and industrial sectors. To ensure efficient project management, Andina Energy categorizes its projects into two groups based on energy consumption: those exceeding and those below 50MW.
For projects exceeding 50 MW in capacity, Andina Energy deploys a battery energy storage system (BESS) to store solar, wind, thermal, and hydro energy, which helps enhance the reliability of electricity grids across these energy sources. On the other hand, for projects that consume less than 50 MW of energy, the company uses the “Pequeño Medio de Generación Distribuida” (PMGD by its acronym in Spanish) program. This program produces renewable energy in close proximity to the point of use, negating the need for additional storage systems. By implementing these strategies, Andina Energy can offer tailored solutions for its clients’ varying needs while promoting the use of renewable energy.
The company also develops small solar projects for residential areas and facilitates engineering requirements. Andina Energy manages projects’ installation, maintenance, and commissioning and customizes the design per the client’s requirements. The commissioning service offered by Andina Energy ensures the safety and reliability of electrical power systems. To ensure the correctness of the electrical connectivity, LV/MV, insulation, and continuity measurement tests are performed. These tests help measure the insulation resistance between two components and prevent short circuits or other electrical issues. The SBC and continuity testing service further ensure that the insulation resistance is within an acceptable and safe range.
The “short circuit test” and “VLF test” are also performed to assess whether circuit breakers function optimally. These tests are part of Andina Energy’s commissioning service, which is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the electrical power systems they design and install. The company’s team of experts, with extensive experience and specialized expertise in their respective fields, play a significant role in ensuring this.
Each project is assigned a dedicated manager who guides clients through the project from start to finish, from equipment delivery to the construction process and its commissioning. This personalized approach helps clients navigate the process easily and ensures the successful completion of each project.
Moreover, Andina Energy is committed to contributing to the achievement of SDG 7, “Affordable and Clean Energy,” which focuses on improving energy efficiency and expanding access to modern energy services. The company’s services are essential in achieving this goal as they promote the use of renewable energy sources, ultimately contributing to the world’s sustainable development.
As South America’s renewable energy market steadily grows across the continent, Andina Energy is determined to meet these industry demands with its turnkey solution and ease of incorporating renewable energy sources into various organizations. By streamlining the deployment of renewable energy for its clients, the company makes the planet greener one project at a time.
