Colombia implemented a renewable energy auction in 2019. Contracts were awarded for nine wind and five solar projects, worth approximately $8 billion through Colombia’s Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME). The developers will sign a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for 1,365 MW of wind and solar capacity due to be commissioned by 2022.
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.
In the first renewable energy auction for the country, over 1 GW of wind power was awarded in 2019 for a 15-year power purchase agreement from 2022. Colombia has significant solar power resources because of its location in the equatorial zone, but the country sits in a complex region of the Andes where climatic conditions vary.
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.
Colombia is also positioning itself to be a leader in sustainable mobility for the next decade. The country approved the first program for 20 percent biodiesel blends. After the approval of Law 1715 in 2014, the government maintained its efforts to promote private ventures in large scale, renewable energy projects.
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.
