One of Colombia’s current legislative moves to boost an embryonic renewable sector is being opposed by a coalition of energy market lobbies.
President Iván Duque was warned in a recent letter to abandon proposals that would force energy market operators to tap into renewables for a share of their production and purchases.
The move could reverse the success known so far with Colombia’s price-efficient energy market, says the document, jointly signed by energy producer associations ACOLGEN and ANDEG together with four others in the distribution, transmission and sale business.
