Colombia is racing to secure new sources of natural gas while promoting investments in renewable energy to address a potential gas deficit by 2027. Adrián Correa from UPME discusses the need for diversification in gas supply sources to ensure system reliability. Options include restoring a gas pipeline from Venezuela, expanding LNG regasification, and investing in new import facilities. The country has initiated a bidding process for offshore wind energy projects, aiming to attract national and international companies experienced in such projects. These offshore wind projects could also support the production of hydrogen through electrolysis. Colombia is progressing towards producing hydrogen on a commercial scale, particularly in regions like La Guajira with wind projects. While the country lags in battery storage projects compared to other nations, efforts are being made to encourage investment in this segment. Synchronous compensators are being considered as cost-effective solutions alongside battery storage, with the unique characteristics of Colombia's energy system playing a role in project feasibility.
