The Going Global report series provides a 360-degree view of the energy system in international priority markets for export-ready Canadian energy companies. The current report is an update on the previous Colombia report published by the AEC providing a revision of the data and investigating newer drivers and trends. Colombia is an exciting market, open to foreign innovation and a strong relationship with Canada. It is a relatively newer entrant in the area of electricity sector modernization creating upcoming opportunities in the areas of grid modernization, reducing energy losses, advanced metering infrastructure opportunities and energy efficiency opportunities along with an easy business environment.
Hence, the report addresses considerations and is meant to help Canadian companies answer the following key questions:
- Are our Canadian capabilities a good fit for the market?
- What are the opportunities and barriers to doing business, and do the former outweigh the latter?
In this report you will find:
