Summary

This article examines the implementation of the Statute for Risk of Supply Shortage Situations

(ESRD) in Colombia during 2024, detailing its application to reservoir levels under low hydrological conditions and the evolution of generation costs. The need to diversify the energy matrix is emphasized, aiming to reduce dependence on hydropower and enhance system resilience against extreme weather events. In addition, the article compares international experiences in reservoir management from countries such as Brazil, Norway, Chile, and

Canada, offering key lessons to strengthen Colombia’s regulatory framework through the integration of technologies, climate predictive models, and energy sustainability strategies.
