What EnfraGen does
EnfraGen is a New York-headquartered developer, owner, and operator of energy transition assets in Latin America, operating as a joint venture between Glenfarne Energy Transition (controlled by CEO Brendan Duval's Glenfarne Group) and Partners Group. Founded in 2015, the company has grown to 480+ employees and 2.13+ GW of total assets across Central America (Panama, Costa Rica), Colombia, and Chile, organized through subsidiaries including Prime Energia Colombia, Prime Energia Chile, Fontus Renewables, and EnfraGen Central America.
The company's core technology portfolio combines grid stability assets, primarily high-efficiency combined-cycle natural gas plants (Termoflores at 610 MW using Siemens W501D5 and Mitsubishi turbines, Termovalle at 241 MW using Siemens W501F), with distributed renewable energy generation including run-of-river hydroelectric, solar PV (with projects such as Prudencia Solar using 25,747 panels and Divisa Solar using ~33,000 panels), and wind (Guanacaste Wind Farm with 55 900-KW generators). The grid stability plants can be dispatched by system operators to rapidly ramp up and inject power, providing backup that enables higher renewable penetration in markets like Colombia's predominantly hydroelectric grid and Panama's grid during dry seasons.
EnfraGen monetizes its assets through long-term power purchase agreements, regulated tariffs, and dispatch-based grid stability services, selling electricity directly to national grid operators and utilities in Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica. The Colombian operations additionally provide access to international LNG markets through the Cartagena regasification facility. Capital is sourced through a mix of equity from its joint venture parents and project-level debt, including a US$1.76 billion debt raise completed in December 2020. The company sells exclusively to enterprise/government counterparties (national grid operators and utilities), with no SMB or retail customer base.
