On the other hand, the construction of Termoemcali is beginning this month. This is a natural gas-fired power generation facility located near Cali, Colombia.

The sale of 56.71% of the shares the Republic of Colombia owns in the Empresa de Energia del Pacifico S.A. E.S.P. is expected to be completed by the month of May. The minimum price established by the Colombian Government is 550 million dollars.
