Promigas Increases Gas Transport Capacity to 120 mpcd, Expands Renewable Energy Portfolio in Latin America

Promigas accelerated its bidirectional gas pipeline project, achieving an additional 20 mpcd transport capacity between Colombia’s Caribbean coast and its interior ahead of schedule. This increment raised the line’s total capacity to 120 mpcd, up from 100 mpcd, as part of a strategy to ensure national energy security amid supply challenges. The project, approved by Colombia’s energy regulator (CREG), targets 170 mpcd of capacity delivery by August 2027. Prior steps included phased increases to 66 and then 100 mpcd. The enhanced infrastructure improves integration between gas supply in the Caribbean region and inland demand centers, addressing bottlenecks and supporting market dynamism.

This expansion occurs as Colombia faces a downward trend in proven gas reserves and a fall in production from key fields such as Cupiagua, Chuchupa, and Cusiana. Domestic gas output struggles to meet demand, resulting in about 18%-19% of gas needs being met through imports since December 2024, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) via the SPEC terminal. Promigas is advancing infrastructure projects to support this changing supply landscape, including increasing regasification capacity to over 530 mpcd by mid-2027.

On the corporate front, Promigas agreed to purchase 100% of Zelestra Corporación’s shares, adding 1.4 GW of contracted solar generation capacity and over 2.1 GW in development across Colombia, Peru, and Chile. This acquisition complements Promigas’s “Nuestra Energía 2040” strategy, expanding its portfolio towards renewable sources and diversifying business lines beyond regulated gas transport and distribution. The deal remains subject to regulatory approval in Colombia and Peru.

Financially, Promigas reported a 4% revenue growth to COP 5.48 trillion by Q3 2025 and a net profit exceeding COP 891 billion, supported by expanding gas distribution networks that now reach nearly 7 million gas customers and 470,000 electricity users across Colombia and Peru. The company’s infrastructure extends over 77,800 km serving more than 25 million people, positioning it as a leading energy infrastructure operator in the region.
