Colombia: Energy Country Profile
How much of the country''s electricity comes from nuclear power? Colombia: What sources does the country get its electricity from? Where do countries get their electricity from – coal, oil, gas, nuclear energy or renewables?

The first historical landmark in the establishment of electric supply dates back from 1928, when Law 113 declared the exploitation of hydroelectric power of public interest. The system worked in a centralized manner, in which vertically integrated state companies maintained a monopoly in their corresponding regions. A public company, ISA, exchanged electricity among the different regional systems.
Colombia
Colombia launched the Energy Plan 2050 in 2016, which aims to diversify the country''s energy resources and ensure a reliable energy supply. The Plan also aims to include wind power plants, solar PV and geothermal energy generation in the country''s elec
Colombia
Mainstream will build the 100 MW Andromeda solar PV plant, located in Toluviejo, Colombia, to supply the electricity to Air-e, a Colombian energy distribution company. The PPA has a tenure of 15 years, and will come into effect from 2024, once the c. 195,000 solar panels are installed and new transmission infrastructure is in place.
COLOMBIA POWER SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY ASSESSMENT
Colombia''s power system is characterised by large installed capacity for hydropower (70% of total capacity), mostly from plants with significant reservoir capacity. VRE generation capacity, below 1% in 2017, would reach 17% by 2030 under the revised energy plan (UPME, 2018). Additional biomass power by 2030 would account for 3% of capacity.
An Overview of the Colombian Power System
The Colombian power system is facing a transition from hydro-thermal generation to a diversified mix of hydro, solar, and wind energy. This paper presents an overview of the current situation and the challenges of transitioning to a more sustainable power system.

ENERGY PROFILE Colombia
Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.
Electricity sector in Colombia
Colombia has an ambitious reform agenda in the power sector. The country seeks to encourage foreign investment, with an emphasis on hydrocarbons and power capacity expansion; simplify modalities for small-scale energy projects; and renew interest in non-conventional renewable energy technologies with a regulatory framework to facilitate a
