Colombian power plants are preparing to ramp up liquefied natural gas imports ahead of an expected El Niño, which would bring dry weather to the Andean country.
The US Climate Prediction Center has signaled that an El Niño is likely to develop by Aug. 1 and persist through the end of the year. The phenomenon typically raises global temperatures and shifts rainfall patterns, often bringing hotter and drier conditions to Colombia and the Andes. That poses a risk to the country’s power system, which relies on hydropower for roughly two-thirds of generation capacity.
