Accounting for 89%, hydropower and solid biomass are the pillars of Colombia’s energy use. Notes: Solar, wind and bioenergy (electricity) figures are very small and not visible on this chart. Source: IEA (2023). Colombia stands out among IEA countries for having a large share of renewable energy in TFEC (29% above the IEA average of 14%).
The main mechanism to ensure security of electricity supply is Colombia’s reliability charge, which has also seen increasing participation from renewable energy capacity since 2019. The scarcity pricing formula was reformed in 2015/16 and today reflects the cost of the oldest diesel generator.
Colombia has crude oil storage (7 mb) and oil product storages (3 mb), alongside upstream storage capacity of 3.5 mb, or 4 days of production. These are, however, operational storage capacities dedicated to conduct production activity. Potentially, some of these capacities will be available for stockholding purposes as production declines.
Since 2011, Colombia’s transport sector energy demand increased by 39%, half of which is covered by gasoline. Notes: Transport sector demand excludes international aviation and navigation. Source: IEA (2023).
Under Colombia’s long-term strategy (E2050), oil continues to play a role for exports but declines strongly in the domestic energy system. By 2050, the country targets an increase in electrification of final energy consumption of 40-70% of final energy use, multiplying by seven the electricity consumption in 2015.
businesses.4In 2021, Colombia’s total final energy consumption reached 1,319 petajoules (PJ). Fossil fuels accounted for 67% of this total, with oil being the primary energy source (49%), followed by natural gas (11%) and coal (7.1%).5 Electricity, primarily sourced from hydropower, constituted the second-highest consumed en
