Here, values close to one indicate that the two power plants complement each other in time, output, and intermittence; whereas, values close to zero indicate that at least in one of these
The rainiest place in the Americas, and among the rainiest in the world, is the western part of Colombia, just south of Panama, where the western slopes of the Andes mountains face the Pacific ocean
Offshore wind resources in other parts of Colombia''s waters, such as along the Pacific coast, are not as energetic as the Caribbean coast, so are not considered in this roadmap.
The wind regime in Colombia is among the best in South America. Offshore regions of the northern part of Colombia, such as in the Guajira Department, have been classified with class

The wind regime in Colombia is among the best in South America. Offshore regions of the northern part of Colombia, such as in the Guajira Department, have been classified with class 7 winds (over 10 meters per second (m/s)). The only other region in Latin America with such high wind power classification is the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina. Colombia has an estimated theoretical wind power potential of 21 GW just in the Guajira Department—
