Green Riders 
Join us on an exciting 600 km journey along the stunning coastline of the Colombian Caribbean Sea. In the second edition of Green Riders, we aim to demonstrate that it is possible to explore the most remote corners of Colombia in 100% electric vehicles, being the first time this route is traveled in this way. With this initiative, we promote the development of these areas through sustainable tourism and education, reaffirming Grenergy’s commitment to the progress of the communities in which we operate.
2024 was the start of a project that was born with the aim of being Grenergy’s legacy. A project that every year represents our commitment to the world and the communities where we operate; generating a real positive impact that will lead to a better future for people and the environment.
In 2025 the expedition has travelled more than 600 km along the Caribbean coast, identifying different projects and helping nearby communities. There have been 4 stages with high temperatures and difficult access roads, passing through multiple communities and remote natural environments that have been carried out with electric bikes and auxiliary support vans 100% electric and paying maximum attention to leave 0 carbon footprint.
Support education and local development projects.
Strategic plan for installing electric vehicle chargers.
The route begins at the Manaure salt flats and continues along trails and sand, with the wind against you and the sun setting the pace. Always alongside the Caribbean, the path crosses indigenous communities and open landscapes until reaching Cabo de la Vela, the final point of this first stage.

In Mayapo, the Green Riders Caribbean 2025 expedition delivered 58 bicycles to the Laachon Ethnoeducational Institution to improve access to education for children and young people from the Jieyusirra, Kuskat, Villa Lourdes, Uriakat, Carraisirra, Mapashirra and Amuruluba communities. With a social investment that will benefit more than 200 people, including students and their families, the bicycles aim to reduce school dropout and travel times, as many students travel between 4 and 8 kilometres a day to get to class.
35 students from the San Juan de Córdoba Educational Institution in the municipality of Ciénaga participated in a day of beach cleaning and environmental education, in which 317 kilos of waste were collected and an agreement was signed to carry out regular conservation activities. In addition, Green Riders Caribe 2025 began contributing to the installation of three bioclimatic nurseries as part of the environmental compensation for the construction of two solar parks, with a total investment of 580 million Colombian pesos. One of these nurseries will be located at the San Juan de Córdoba Educational Institution and will function as a practical learning tool for students.
Green Riders Caribe 2025 began supporting the adaptation of a greenhouse at the Bayunca Educational Institution, with inputs for the construction of an automatic irrigation system and storage tanks to mitigate the lack of water in the area. This space is used by students in grades 10 and 11 as part of their agro-industrial technical training, promoting the recovery of ancestral knowledge and youth entrepreneurship.The greenhouse will function as a practical outdoor classroom, where students will learn about planting and cultivation of native, medicinal and edible plants. It is expected to directly benefit 4,000 students and, indirectly, the 25,000 inhabitants of the district, contributing to the improvement of the environment and air quality.
