Gobierno declara una 'situación especial' en el Sistema de Transmisión Nacional y en el Regional del Caribe

TL;DR

  • A "Special Situation" has been declared for the National Transmission System and Regional Transmission Systems of the Atlantic Coast.
  • This declaration aims to identify and prioritize urgent expansion projects for the Caribbean Region's electricity demand.
  • Over 30 projects are designated as urgent, including multiple synchronous compensators at various locations and voltage levels (e.g., Cuestecitas, Nueva Barranquilla, Colectora).
  • The Unit for Mining and Energy Planning (UPME) has five business days to report its capacity to execute these urgent works.
  • If UPME is unable or fails to provide a schedule with a start date no later than January 20, 2026, the Ministry will proceed with the necessary implementation procedures.
