Spanish infrastructure and energy company Cox announced on 24 September 2026 that it has completed financing and long-term power sale agreements for a 75.2 MWp solar power plant in the municipality of Chiquimulilla in Guatemala’s Santa Rosa department. The project is among the country’s largest solar complexes.
167,600 MWh of clean power a year
According to Cox, the plant, developed in two phases, is located in an area with high solar irradiation and will generate around 167,600 MWh of electricity a year. That is enough to meet the needs of around 200,000 households and avoid around 19,600 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions a year.
15-year sale agreements and lenders
The plant’s electricity will be sold under 15-year agreements signed with distribution companies EEGSA and DEOCSA under the PEG4 tender. CIFI acted as arranger and lead syndication agent for the financing, with the Sustainable Infrastructure Debt Fund (SIDF) and BICSA also among the lenders. Banco Aliado serves as credit and administrative agent.
What the company said
Luis Manresa, Director of Energy Business Development for the Central Belt region at Cox, said the Chiquimulilla project reflects the company’s ability to identify, develop and deliver strategic infrastructure projects suited to the energy needs of each market. Regional Manager Martín Sucre Champsaur said that with the project the company continues to grow its portfolio of energy assets in the region.
