Highlights

  • The country targets to cut GHG emissions by 51% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario.
  • The country will not issue new oil and gas exploration contracts and has pledged to phase out unabated coal-fired power generation by 2030.
  • Three companies hold 60% of the power capacity.
  • The public company Ecopetrol dominates the oil and gas sectors.
  • Two companies, Drummond and Cerrejón, account for more than 90% of the coal production.
  • Hydroelectricity dominates the power mix since 2019, with a share between 63% and 72% depending on hydro availability (63% in 2023).
  • Oil production has increased by 3%/year since 2022, after a sharp 16% decrease over 2019- 2021.
  • Coal production and exports have remained stable since 2021; exports have decreased by 42% since 2017.
  • Electricity prices vary according to the regions. They have been largely stable since 2016.
  • Total energy consumption increased by around 5% in 2023.
  • Oil dominates the energy mix (46%) with an increasing share (+11 points since 2010).
  • The industrial sector is the largest electricity consumer.
  • The National Energy Plan 2022-2050 foresees 19 GW of non-conventional renewable capacity by 2050.
  • A second LNG regasification terminal is planned.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The energy sector is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). UPME (Mining and Energy Planning Unit) is a special administrative unit of MME in charge of coordinating the planning of the sector.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Colombia owns large energy resources. Proven oil reserves amount to 278 Mt and gas reserves to 80 bcm (end of 2023). At 4.6 Gt, the country's coal reserves are also very large. The economic hydroelectric potential is estimated at 140 TWh/year. The country's wind energy potential is high (over 14 GW, especially on its north coast).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    The prices of gasoline and diesel increased by 12% and 2% in 2023 to US$0.66/l and US$0.58/l, respectively.

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita consumption is around 0.87 toe, including 17% of electricity (1 730 kWh in 2023).

    Total energy consumption increased by around 5% in 2023 to 45 Mtoe, in line with the post-COVID trend. Previously, it had fluctuated around 39-44 Mtoe between 2015 and 2019 and dropped by 7% in 2020.

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the National Energy Plan 2020-2050, energy demand will increase by 21% to 28% by 2050, with electricity and gas consumption increasing faster than oil consumption. Most of the electricity consumption rise will be linked to an increasing use of wind and solar technologies.
