Supply ChainCrisis🇨🇴Colombia 🇪🇨Ecuador71d ago

Colombia's electrical system faces mounting strain as hydroelectric reservoirs sit at only 63% capacity ahead of an anticipated dry season beginning in August, according to Acolgen, the national generation industry association. The country confronts a firm energy deficit of 2.6%—potentially deepening to 6.8% by 2030—compounded by 4,000–4,500 megawatts of delayed generation projects and insufficient domestic natural gas, forcing reliance on costlier imports amid global supply disruptions. Industry leaders warn the situation demands immediate activation of thermal plants, national energy conservation measures, and accelerated development of regasification and solar projects to avoid blackouts during the forecasted El Niño phenomenon.

Cattle auction volumes have dropped 30–40% in recent weeks, and livestock transporters and producers are threatening a national strike unless the system is repaired, risking increases in meat prices.
