Companies leading the energy transformation in Colombia
Colombia faces an urgent energy challenge, but some companies are already leading the transition to a more resilient and sustainable model. Pactia, ICC and Palms Avenue demonstrate that energy efficiency is not only possible, but profitable.
A challenging energy context for Colombian companies
Colombia is experiencing one of the most critical energy situations in its recent history. With an electricity matrix that is 68 % dependent on hydroelectric energy – highly vulnerable to phenomena such as El Niño – and natural gas reserves that could run out in less than five years, the country is on the verge of a crisis.
Against this backdrop, energy efficiency and renewable energies are emerging as key strategies for adaptation and competitiveness, especially for companies, which are the main consumers of the resource.
“Colombian companies today have the historic opportunity to turn this energy crisis into a competitive advantage,” explains Santiago Uribe, co-founder and marketing and sales manager of Azimut Energía, a company specializing in energy efficiency projects. “Applying these strategies can reduce operating costs by up to 30% and build resilience in the face of market volatility.”
Pactia, ICC and Palms Avenue are committed to efficiency and clean energy.
