Project by project. 100% green. Structured for investors who think in decades, not quarters.
NES Power does not operate in a vacuum. It is the electricity generation subsidiary of Nova Energy Star Holding International — an integrated energy platform with a presence across the entire value chain of the Colombian electricity sector. This means that behind every generation project there is a network of institutional relationships, commercial capability, and operational strength that few independent developers can offer.
Colombia urgently needs renewable generation. The structural gap between supply and projected demand exceeds 20% by 2030, and the assets that historically covered that gap — conventional hydroelectric and thermal plants — are being hit by El Niño or are exiting the energy matrix. Someone has to fill that space.
NES Power is that someone — but with one key difference from other developers: we do not enter a project until it is ready. Every asset we bring into the portfolio has active permits, an environmental license, confirmed grid connection, and a signed PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with a solid counterparty. That is how international project finance works, and that is how we have operated from day one.
The result is a vehicle where development risk has already been resolved. What remains is execution risk — which we manage through contracted EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction), structured financing with Bancolombia, and PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) auditing. For a fund or a bank, that makes a fundamental difference.
No asset enters the balance sheet without permits, licenses, grid connection, and a signed PPA (Power Purchase Agreement).
Each asset operates within its own SPE (Special Purpose Entity) — full risk separation between projects.
No exceptions. Solar and wind only — fully compatible with international ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) mandates.
Colombia has a serious generation problem. The electricity matrix has historically depended on hydropower — which works well in rainy years and collapses when El Niño arrives. The country has already surpassed 4 GW (Gigawatts) of installed NCRE (Non-Conventional Renewable Energy Sources), but the gap against projected demand by 2030 remains above 20%. Conventional thermal projects are exiting the matrix. Someone has to fill that space.
Law 1715 on energy transition offers real tax incentives — income deduction, VAT (Value Added Tax) exclusion, tariff exemption — for those developing renewable generation. And the Colombian unregulated market allows structuring long-term PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) directly with large industrial consumers, with stable tariffs and solid counterparties.
For a fund or a bank seeking green energy infrastructure in emerging markets with real fundamentals, Colombia right now is hard to ignore.

We have no fossil assets and we will not have any. Not because it is a trend, but because it is the only bet that makes sense for the long term in Colombia and in the world. Every project that enters the NES Power portfolio is solar or wind — with zero direct CO2 emissions in operation. That applies today, applies to the ~160 MW (Megawatts) we are currently negotiating, and will apply to every asset we incorporate in the future.
For funds with ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) mandates, carbon-intensive asset exclusion policies, or alignment criteria with the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), NES Power is a clean vehicle from its foundation — verifiable project by project through environmental permits, licenses, and EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) contracts.
The 100% renewable generation mandate is embedded in the asset selection criteria. It is not a statement of intent — it is a filter that operates before any project enters evaluation.
The portfolio is compatible with responsible investment frameworks such as the Equator Principles, the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and internal carbon-intensive asset exclusion policies of international infrastructure funds.
Three solar projects in the Colombian Caribbean — a region identified by the IDB (Inter-American Development Bank) and ISA (Interconexión Eléctrica S.A.) as a priority zone for BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) integration and solar generation — plus a pipeline of ~160 MW (Megawatts) in hybrid generation under active negotiation.
24.63 MWp (Megawatts peak) · Gambote, Bolívar · 66 kV (kilovolt) substation · 30-year PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with Triple-AAA counterparty · Project finance with Bancolombia in progress · EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) by Consorcio Maxwell-CGM · ~USD 19.5M · Active Cardique permits
Juan Mina, Atlántico · Term sheet under structuring · ~USD 1M
Manatí, Atlántico · Term sheet under structuring · ~USD 1M
We are in active negotiation with a defined counterparty to incorporate approximately 160 MW (Megawatts) of solar and wind generation into the portfolio. If closed, this transaction represents the most significant scale-up in the vehicle’s history and consolidates technological diversification toward hybrid renewable generation. Details subject to closing of negotiation.
There are three ways to participate, and each is designed for a different profile. All of them can be structured at the NES Power level or directly within the SPE (Special Purpose Entity) of the project of your interest.
Preferred return with priority in distributions. For those seeking exposure to renewable infrastructure with a defined risk profile and contractually established return.
Direct participation in the equity of the vehicle or the project’s SPE (Special Purpose Entity). For those seeking to capture asset appreciation and align with the portfolio’s long-term vision.
For companies with a significant tax burden looking to structure their participation by leveraging the tax benefits of Law 1715 — income tax deduction, VAT (Value Added Tax) exclusion, and tariff exemption.
Colombia needs international capital. We know how to bring it.
The opportunity in renewable generation in Colombia is real, but accessing it from the outside is not straightforward. The regulatory framework, relationships with local banks, environmental permits, PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) negotiations with industrial consumers — all of that requires years of on-the-ground development.
NES Power exists, in part, to solve that problem. We are the bridge between international capital seeking exposure to green energy infrastructure in emerging markets, and a Colombian market
Direct access to mature renewable generation assets, without the regulatory and operational learning curve that normally takes years to build in a new market.
The international investor contributes capital. Nova Energy Star Holding International contributes the development, regulatory structuring, banking relationships, and operations in Colombia. A partnership designed to last.
We work to the same standards demanded by any serious project bank or infrastructure fund. Not because we are asked to — but because we believe it is the only way to build something that lasts.
Backed by one of the Big Four (the four largest audit firms in the world). The financial statements of Nova Energy Star Holding International are audited by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers). Real accounting transparency — not just declared.
Bancolombia supports the project finance of La Iguana with a full due diligence (technical and financial) process currently underway.
And Davivienda with an active banking relationship with the holding. Operational and financial support for the management of the generation portfolio.
The goal is clear: a 100% renewable generation portfolio exceeding 2 GW (Gigawatts) of installed capacity in Colombia within a 10-year horizon. NES Power is the vehicle that consolidates that portfolio, project by project, SPE (Special Purpose Entity) by SPE (Special Purpose Entity).
La Iguana is the first chapter. The ~160 MW (Megawatts) under negotiation are the second. What comes next depends, in part, on the partners we build today.
If you are looking for green energy infrastructure in Colombia, let’s talk.
NES Power is the renewable generation vehicle of Nova Energy Star Holding International — audited by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers), financed by Bancolombia, 100% green, and designed for investors who think long-term. Three entry mechanisms: preferred shares, equity, and tax partner. Local and international capital welcome.
