Colombia: Pacific Coast Regasification Facility and Gas Pipeline

In 2018, the Colombian government adopted a National Development Plan for 2018-2022 under which the Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy was instructed to adopt the necessary measures to ensure the supply of natural gas in Colombia, including the construction of a regasification facility on its Pacific coast.

In May 2018, the Colombian Mining and Energy Planning Unit published the preliminary bid documents for the design, procurement, financing, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of (i) a regasification facility in the form of either an FSRU or an onshore facility and (ii) a gas pipeline connecting the municipalities of Buenaventura and Yumbo. In October 2020, UPME published the bid documents for comments and scheduled the bid for the second quarter of 2021.
