PANAMA CITY, PANAMA (Piero Stewart, Energy Analytics Institute, 9.Apr.2025, Words: 692) — The Colombian market is currently suffering a natural gas shortage that represents 7.6% of the country’s total gas demand. This, after the Andean country lost its ability to fulfill its domestic demand in Dec. 2024 and began to rely on imports.
Of the gas shortage, 4% is covered with imported gas, while the remaining 3.6% is covered by gas released by thermal power plants that no longer need to use gas to generate electricity owing to improved weather conditions.
