In that sense, Isagen -one of the most important generators of Colombia– In 2023, it contributed 18% of the energy of the National Interconnected System, with a generation of renewable and clean energy from water, wind and sun, which means a 100% green energy matrix.
Within this commitment, that of advancing the energy transition, Isagen has decided to work to avoid the net increase in Greenhouse gases (GHG) to achieve carbon neutrality status.

Currently, the company’s goals are aligned with the Paris Agreement which aims to limit the increase in global temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius, and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
For this purpose, the company has 19 of its 22 generation plants in operation registered in mitigation programs. carbon emissions. Precisely, the emissions intensity of the projects carried out by the company is 99% lower than the world sector average, thus contributing to the objective of a sustainable transition.

In the The Caribbean Region Important low-carbon renewable energy projects are located that allow it to issue Emission Reduction Certificates (CER) with the potential to produce more than 200 thousand CER annually. These projects are: the Guajira I and Wesp 01 wind farms in La Guajira and the five Sabanalarga solar parks in the Atlantic.
With these projects of non-conventional sources of renewable energyIsagen leads the energy transition, which contributes to the decarbonization of the economy, as the main mitigation tool against climate change.
