6 FAQs about [Colombia energy infrastructure solutions]
How much money will Colombia need to decarbonize power systems?
It is estimated that infrastructure investments will need to ramp up to $820 billion annually by 2030 to facilitate the decarbonization of power systems. A renewable energy transformation is already underway in Colombia; the country generated record levels of solar power in 2021.
What is Colombia's energy transition process?
Colombia’s energy transition process is underway. Former President Ivan Duque set a goal to increase non-conventional renewable energy installed capacity from one percent to more than 12 percent of the energy matrix by 2022.
Are non-hydro renewable sources a problem in Colombia?
However, non-hydro renewable sources still represent less than 2% of Colombia’s installed generation capacity, exposing the electric system to risks. Moreover, the country faces high costs and steep barriers to modernizing its transmission infrastructure and transporting renewable electricity safely and reliably, particularly to off-grid regions.
Is the Just Energy Transition an opportunity for decarbonizing Colombia's economy?
“In Colombia, we see the just energy transition not just as an opportunity for decarbonizing our national economy, but also as an opportunity to achieve long-term environment and economic sustainability through an inclusive strategy where citizens are at the center of the transition.
How much electricity does Colombia produce?
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 percent, and the remaining one percent from wind and solar units. The country’s energy matrix is clean but highly dependent on climatic conditions to generate hydro power.
Will Colombia build a hydrogen value chain?
With abundant natural gas reserves and the largest coal producer in Latin America, Colombia is focusing on blue hydrogen production as a base from which to start building the hydrogen value chain. In 2022, Colombia published its roadmap for offshore wind development, part of a broader plan to wean the country off hydropower and fossil fuels.
