California-based solar developer Noria Energy has launched a 1.5MW floating solar power system on the reservoir at Colombia''s Urrá
Colombia''s installed electric power generation capacity currently stands at 17,771 MW, with hydro accounting for 68 percent, gas and coal-fired power plants accounting for 31
From large-scale pumped hydroelectric storage to cutting-edge battery technologies, Colombia explores a diverse array of options to efficiently store and manage
Colombia''s electricity mix includes 64% Hydropower, 14% Gas and 9% Coal. Low-carbon generation peaked in 2017.
primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end

Electricity supply in Colombia relies on the National Interconnected System (SIN) and several isolated local systems in the Non-Interconnected Zones (ZNI). SIN encompasses one third of the territory, giving coverage to 96 percent of the population. The ZNI, which covers the remaining two thirds of the national territory, only serves 4 percent of the population. Thirty-two large hydroelectric plants and thirty thermal power stations feed electricity into the SI
Colombia has 28.1 MW installed capacity of renewable energy (excluding large hydro), consisting mainly of wind power. The country has significant small hydro, wind, and solar resources that

Table 1: Electrical Power and Renewable Energy Systems OverviewLeading Sub-SectorsOpportunitiesTrade EventsSince the government is developing several new power generation projects to accommodate growing demand through 2031, the outlook for the Colombian electricity sector is promising. The 2.4 GW Ituango hydro project that suffered from landslides and flooding of its powerhouse has a delay in its completion. The first unit one came online at the end ofSee more on trade.gov
Colombia''s electricity mix includes 64% Hydropower, 14% Gas and 9% Coal. Low-carbon generation peaked in 2017.
With its growing renewable energy sector and unique geographical challenges, Colombian energy storage containers are emerging as game-changers. In 2024 alone,
As renewable penetration rises, energy storage systems (ESS) and hybrid generation models are emerging as essential tools for maintaining reliability, managing
Energy production includes any fossil fuels drilled and mined, which can be burned to produce electricity or used as fuels, as well as energy produced by nuclear fission and renewable
