TL;DR
- Colombia suspended electricity exports to Ecuador in 2024, earning US$329 million.
- The suspension is attributed to technical reasons, energy sovereignty, and Ecuador's tariffs on Colombian goods.
- Despite facing the El Niño phenomenon and reduced energy reserves in 2023-2024, Colombia continued exporting electricity.
- The Ministry of Mines and Energy declared the suspension a preventative measure to ensure stable energy for domestic consumption.
- This decision prioritizes Colombia's internal energy demand over international transactions when the national system's stability is at risk.
