It is estimated that infrastructure investments will need to ramp up to $820 billion annually by 2030 to facilitate the decarbonization of power systems. A renewable energy transformation is already underway in Colombia; the country generated record levels of solar power in 2021.
“Colombia's Investment Plan for $70 million in concessional resources is a recognition of the maturity of the country's energy system and its efforts to advance an ambitious and inclusive transition, based on collaboration between the public, private and social sectors.
“In Colombia, we see the just energy transition not just as an opportunity for decarbonizing our national economy, but also as an opportunity to achieve long-term environment and economic sustainability through an inclusive strategy where citizens are at the center of the transition.
However, non-hydro renewable sources still represent less than 2% of Colombia's installed generation capacity, exposing the electric system to risks. Moreover, the country faces high costs and steep barriers to modernizing its transmission infrastructure and transporting renewable electricity safely and reliably, particularly to off-grid regions.
Colombia has set a target of reducing emissions by 51 percent before 2030. Through these investments, Colombia expects to achieve 1.6 Mt CO2eq emissions reductions while providing nearly 20,000 households with increased access to clean energy and achieving total electric system cost reductions.
