Con proyecto de resolución de la Creg se cambiaría la forma para comprar energía en Colombia The Creg has released a draft resolution outlining conditions for transferring contract prices from Conexión Energética’s mechanism to regulated tariffs. This aims to address deficiencies in price formation, agent discrimination, and risk control within the energy contracting market. While the proposal is expected to benefit commercializers, MCE promoters, and generators by providing clearer rules and new market access, it may negatively impact smaller commercializers and those not participating in the MCE due to increased administrative burdens and potential exclusion from a key contracting segment.

• The Creg is seeking comments on a draft resolution to define conditions for transferring contract prices from Conexión Energética’s mechanism to regulated tariffs.
• The resolution aims to improve price formation, reduce discrimination among agents, and centralize risk control in the energy contracting market.
• New guarantees will be required for anonymous transactions, ensuring sellers are protected against non-payment, even from financially distressed companies like Air-e.
• Beneficiaries include regulated market commercializers, MCE promoters, generators selling to regulated demand, and potentially regulated users through price efficiency.
• Affected parties include non-participating commercializers or those with low operational capacity, generators or commercializers not in the MCE, and regulated users if the mechanism fails.
• A list of eight instruments, including bank guarantees and letters of credit, will be used to measure guarantees.
