As of 2023, Colombia''s renewable electricity generation capacity was 14.3 GW. Most of this capacity is hydropower. Solar power is growing fast, and in 2023 accounted for about 5% of the renewable capacity, up from almost zero five years earlier. The country has significant wind and solar resources that remain largely unexploited. According to a study by the World Bank''s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), exploiting the country''s significant wind pot

Among these, gas was the most significant, providing roughly 14%, followed by coal at nearly 9%, and oil just under 4%. The strong reliance on hydropower and other clean sources highlights Colombia's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions. Data sources used on this page include IEA and World Bank.
Leading electricity companies in Colombia include EMGESA, Empresas Públicas de Medellín, and ISAGEN. Six companies manage more than 90 % of the renewable energy market: Isagen, AES Colombia, Celsia, EPM, Enel Bogotá and EDP Renewables.
Colombia can enhance its low-carbon electricity generation by embracing additional solar and nuclear energy initiatives. Learning from regions such as Nevada in the US, where solar electricity accounts for about a third of the supply, could be a significant opportunity for Colombia.
The Colombian electricity sector is comprised of both the National Interconnected System (SIN) and several isolated local systems in the Non-Interconnected Zones (ZNI), where electrical services are provided by small-scale independent systems.
