The Ituango hydropower plant, invested by the Power Construction Corporation of China in Colombia, is the largest installed hydropower station under construction in the Americas and will solve 12 percent of Colombia’s electricity demand after the project is completed. Helen Sáez, a Colombian who is working on the project, said 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. Sáez expects this good relationship to continue to grow and take full advantage of China’s technology and Colombia’s resources to achieve sustainable development for her country.
