Colombia’s power generation companies have issued a warning regarding the escalating debt of Air-e Intervenida, a utility currently under intervention. The debt is projected to exceed $3 billion, raising concerns about the stability of the national energy system. Generators fear this financial strain could severely limit their ability to respond effectively to increased energy demands anticipated with the arrival of the El Niño weather phenomenon. El Niño typically brings drier conditions, increasing reliance on power generation. The industry group emphasizes the potential for disruptions to electricity supply if the debt issue remains unresolved. They are urging swift action to address the financial situation and ensure grid reliability. The situation poses a risk to the country’s overall preparedness for the climate event.
