“Colombia has become the first country in the Latin America and Caribbean region to develop a competitive process for the construction of offshore wind energy projects.”
Andrés Camacho Morales, Minister of Mines and Energy
The Energy Year Colombia 2025 highlights Colombia’s journey towards embracing the energy transition by advancing clean energy projects in the areas of solar, wind and hydro. Likewise, the hydrocarbons sector continues to be pivotal to the nation’s economic wellbeing, with the Ecopetrol Group focusing on natural gas plays in the Caribbean Sea as a medium-term solution to achieve energy security. This year’s edition underscores the efforts of state and private companies to advance both the energy and mining industries while respecting environmental and community-based guidelines.
“Colombia aims to gradually decrease its dependence on oil and gas while accelerating its energy transition. We need to quickly and intelligently harness hydrocarbons revenues in the coming years to accelerate the energy transition.”
Orlando Velandia Sepúlveda, President of the National Hydrocarbons Agency
The Energy Year Colombia 2025 delves into Colombia’s efforts to foster cleaner and greener energy projects while materialising energy diversification, the pragmatic approach the Ecopetrol Group has taken to reach first gas in its offshore Caribbean plays by the end of the decade, the strong bet private companies are making on technologies to achieve operational efficiency and the holistic approach this administration is taking to develop more socially responsible hydrocarbons and mining activities to further benefit communities.
Produced in partnership with the Ecopetrol Group and ANH, this sixth edition of The Energy Year’s Colombia series provides international and local investors insights on the dynamics shaping the present and future of the country’s energy and mining industries, as well as offering a holistic overview of their related value chains.
