NewzXM, the operator of the Colombian National Interconnected System, has issued a warning regarding the potential for electricity rationing in the country. The risk is contingent upon reservoir levels falling below 30% capacity as a result of the El Niño weather phenomenon, which reduces water availability for hydroelectric power generation.
To compensate for the decline in hydroelectric output, the energy grid must rely on thermal power plants. However, officials have noted that gas supplies are currently scarce, complicating the ability of these plants to meet the increased demand during periods of low water availability.
