Supply ChainCrisis🇨🇴Colombia 🇪🇨Ecuador41d ago

Colombia's electrical system faces mounting strain as hydroelectric reservoirs sit at only 63% capacity ahead of an anticipated dry season beginning in August, according to Acolgen, the national generation industry association. The country confronts a firm energy deficit of 2.6%—potentially deepening to 6.8% by 2030—compounded by 4,000–4,500 megawatts of delayed generation projects and insufficient domestic natural gas, forcing reliance on costlier imports amid global supply disruptions. Industry leaders warn the situation demands immediate activation of thermal plants, national energy conservation measures, and accelerated development of regasification and solar projects to avoid blackouts during the forecasted El Niño phenomenon.

Se trata de un centenar de guerrilleros que esperan allí desde el 14 de junio bajo una profunda incertidumbre. El proceso de paz con el Ejecutivo progresista los condujo a este confinamiento provisional, donde ya entregaron sus armas sin un marco legal sólido ni un horizonte claro para su transición a la vida civil.

The extraditions could lower crime and violence in Ecuador and permanently disable the Choneros, but only if the government implements other crime-fighting measures that debilitate the fragmented groups that often emerge from such abrupt decapitations.
