Press Releases — Grenergy promotes sustainability and local development in Colombia with the second edition of Green Riders Caribe 2025

Grenergy has celebrated the second edition of its Green Riders initiative, this time in Colombia. The 600-kilometre ride through La Guajira and the Caribbean coast has been led by David Ruiz de Andrés, CEO of Grenergy, together with the Colombian professional cyclist, Rigoberto Urán, and other company executives.

Along the route, carried out on electric bicycles and accompanied by electric vans, the company has installed free electric charging stations, promoting clean mobility, and has developed social and educational projects aimed at local communities, consolidating its role as a leader in the energy transition.

Green Riders is an initiative whose main objective is to generate a positive impact on the communities where the Grenergy is present, promoting electrification as a key tool to encourage more sustainable tourism. It consists of a 100% sustainable journey undertaken by the company’s executives through isolated places in the countries where Grenergy operates, demonstrating that it is possible to travel through even the most remote areas of the world in a sustainable way.

The initiative started in 2024 with Green Riders Austral 24 on the Carretera Austral, Chile, where three free public electric charging stations were inaugurated, facilitating the travel of 1,000 kilometres of the route with electric vehicles and bicycles. In addition, donations were made to local communities, benefiting more than 600 people with educational and sustainability projects.

‘With Green Riders Caribe 2025 we have once again demonstrated that sustainable mobility can be integrated even in the most remote regions. This project reaffirms our commitment to support the electrification and development of local communities while caring for the environment,’ said David Ruiz de Andrés, CEO of Grenergy.

Installation of electric charging stations

As part of the project, Grenergy has installed two free electric charging areas for electric vehicles and bicycles in strategic locations: Mayapo and Los Naranjos. Each station has two chargers for electric vehicles and two for bicycles, facilitating the transition to clean mobility that benefits both residents and visitors to the region.

Impact on local communities: Greening Education projects

In line with its ESG strategy, Grenergy has developed various social and educational projects under the Greening Education program, directly impacting local communities and promoting their development. These initiatives include the donation of bicycles to the Mayapo boarding school, facilitating sustainable access to education, environmental education workshops and beach cleaning in San Juan del Córdoba, which promoted ecological awareness and environmental protection. In addition, in Bayunca, the company has installed a greenhouse designed to promote sustainability and encourage learning about responsible agriculture in the region.

With over a decade of operations in the country, Grenergy has positioned itself as a key player in Colombia’s energy transition, boasting a total pipeline of 373 MW and 102 MW currently in operation. It now has more than eight plants connected and five others under construction.

‘At Grenergy, we are committed to the development of local communities and the protection of the environment. Initiatives such as Green Riders Caribe 2025 reflect our commitment to sustainability and our vision of a greener and more responsible future for all’, concluded Ruiz de Andrés.

With this new edition of Green Riders, Grenergy reinforces its commitment to electrification, environmental protection and social development, demonstrating that sustainable tourism is an ever closer reality.
