00:00In the middle of the rain and the emergency in Córdova, the president Gustavo Petro
00:04launched a strong accusation, that the embalses would be stored in water to increase the
00:09price of energy and generate utilities. But how do you really look at the price of
00:14electricity in Colombia? And what do they say? According to the president, with information
00:20of the IDEAM, could be expected a normal regime. Even so, several embalses were full,
00:27while they used more thermal plants that generate energy with gas, which electricity is
00:33more expensive for the government, this could lead to high rates. But the price that
00:38the users pay no only depends on the embalses. The generation represents about the 35% of
00:45the fee, the distribution 38%, the commercialization 13%, and the rest is
00:52reparting between transmission, pérdidas eléctricas y restricciones del sistema.
00:57It is to say, more than half of the cost is not in the hands of the generators.
01:02Además, cerca del 80% of the energy se vende mediante contratos a largo plazo,
01:08with precios defined in the antemano. Only a small part is negociating day a day in the
01:14price of energy, which represents less than 6% of the final cost. When there are less
01:20lluvias, the hydroeléctricas cuidan the water to complete their contracts, and
01:25entran more térmicas, which offer precios more high. This year, the lluvias have been
01:30superior to normal, and the embalses have remained high. According to XM, the
01:36level of interest was around 80% in December and 76% with short cut to 9 February,
01:43over the years ago. But the data also shows that the
01:47compras in bolsa cayeron more than 80% frente a 2024, and that the prices in
01:53bolsa have been below the prices of the contracts the most part of the time. Incluses,
01:59the officials of the DANE indicate that, from the analysis of the inflation, the electricity
02:04has been falling down, both in December and in January, a data that the
02:09Ministry of Minas itself has highlighted. The debate is still open.
02:13Are there decisions questionable that must be investigated? Yes.
02:17But are the data showing a general rise of prices for retention of water? No
02:22is not clear. The discussion is mixing lluvias, energy, gas and politics.
02:27And to understand it, the numbers are so important as the discourses.
02:31Thus, how does the minister almost мам gorged?
02:31yes, it is? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. May then
