Colombia’s Mining-Energy Planning Unit (UPME) has issued Resolution 000358 of 2026, establishing procedures for allocating transmission capacity to generation projects with system obligations or completed environmental licensing. The measure aims to cut evaluation times and accelerate the integration of new capacity into the National Interconnected System (SIN), amid expected demand growth in 2029 and 2030.
The resolution builds on CREG Resolution 101 094 of 2025, which introduced a transitional regime for transmission capacity allocation and assigned UPME the task of defining detailed procedures.
