ISA allocated COP 7.9 trillion for capital expenditure in 2026, of which COP 3.1 trillion was deployed in the first half. The Medellín-based transmission group maintains 35 active construction projects across Latin America, including 4,500 kilometers of transmission lines and 296 kilometers of toll roads as of June 2026. The company’s five-year investment plan through 2030 totals COP 28.1 trillion, with geographic allocation directing 46 percent to Brazil, 29 percent to Colombia, 15 percent to Chile, eight percent to Peru and two percent to Panama.
By business segment, electric power transmission accounts for 85 percent of the planned capital deployment, with toll road concessions representing 12 percent and telecommunications infrastructure comprising the remaining three percent. The financing supports ISA’s strategy to expand grid capacity across South America as regional electricity demand growth accelerates alongside renewable energy integration requirements. The authorization follows standard procedures for Colombian state enterprises seeking domestic credit, with the Finance Ministry acting as guarantor to ensure compliance with public debt regulations.
The loan will be disbursed only after ISA satisfies all legal and contractual requirements specified in the resolution, maintaining regulatory oversight of public sector borrowing. Colombia’s financial regulatory framework requires state-owned entities to secure ministerial approval for credit facilities, ensuring alignment with national fiscal policy and debt sustainability targets.
