Colombia’s leading companies are bracing for a sharp increase in energy costs as the nation’s dwindling natural gas production forces a reliance on expensive imports to prevent shortages.
The National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) published the natural gas production for April in Colombia.
The Colombian Natural Gas Association, Naturgas, raised concerns about the potential for an energy shortage in the country due to a continued decline in proven natural gas reserves.
The recent announcement by the CREG to integrate gas transmission networks, with adjustments in transportation by the distribution company Vanti, continues to spark opposition, particularly in the northern departments of Colombia.
The consumption of natural gas has doubled due to the energy generation crisis caused by the El Niño phenomenon.
In the journey towards energy transition with alternative sources, encouraging achievements reflect a growing global awareness of the issue.
The supply of natural gas has surged in Colombia, playing a pivotal role in averting a power outage amidst the ongoing challenges posed by the El Niño phenomenon.
As the year ends or as the next one starts, MinEnergia’s research institute, the UPME, updates its gas logistics plan, based on a new demand forecast. They never announce it. It never hits the press. We look for it and sometimes find it easily. Sometimes not. Recently it appeared (to us at least) dated December 2023. Here are some quick graphs and comparisons, in the light of last year’s MinEnergia “roadmap” for a just energy transition.
Campetrol reported its natural gas production estimate for February 2024 in Colombia.
