Colombian Industry Braces for Gas Rationing as LNG Imports Pause

(Bloomberg) — Colombian companies are bracing for gas rationing as the nation’s sole import terminal closes for scheduled maintenance, casting a spotlight on the Andean country’s widening supply deficit.

In a bid to avoid blackouts on the populous Atlantic coast, the Energy Ministry has said it will prioritize supply to local gas-fired power plants, households and small businesses during the Oct. 10-14 outage of the SPEC liquefied natural gas terminal outside Cartagena.
