Analysis
Colombia recorded 92.12 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
That represents a change of up 21.6% on the previous year and up 58.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Colombia peaked at 92.12 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 3.54 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Colombia 33rd out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
