6 FAQs about [Colombia s shared energy storage policy changes]
What is Colombia's energy transition policy?
Colombia’s energy transition policy making is an inspiring example of a fossil fuel producing country committed to climate action, based on a long-term decarbonisation pathway and a policy of energy and economic diversification and a just transition.
How does the IEA support Colombia's energy transition?
The IEA supports Colombia’s agenda for a just energy transition. Experience from the IEA’s Global Commission on People-Centred Transitions provides useful learnings for the government of Colombia, helping to boost local economic benefits and the transition to clean energy and new job opportunities.
How does Colombia ensure security of electricity supply?
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.
Will Colombia's energy plans reduce international demand for coal?
However, Colombian energy plans recognise the potential longer term reduction of international demand for coal in the context of the energy transition. The Petro government has banned investment in new coal mines and introduced a tax on coal use for combustion as of 1 January 2023.
Does Colombia have a fuel price stabilisation policy?

However, in practice, since 2020, international prices are no longer reflected in national prices. National gasoline prices increased marginally, diesel prices not at all.
Could Colombia benefit from a normative energy system?
Colombia could benefit from the development of a normative energy system scenario that is consistent with the legislated goal of net zero emissions by 2050, set out in the Climate Action Law (2169/2021).
