Termoyopal S.A. E.S.P. owns a thermoelectric natural gas power plan with an installed capacity of 110 MW and a natural gas dryer. Termoyopal is located in Casanare, Colombia (200 km north of Bogotá), and has 5 generator units (4 x 20 MW and 1 x 30 MW).
The natural gas dryer can produce up to 1,600 bbl/day of GLP and 500 bbl/day of Nafta. Colombia’s electric system largely depends on hydropower as a source of energy generation given the country’s climate, and high levels of hydro capacity. Given that hydroelectric power plants’ storage capacity (reservoirs) is not enough to supply power during the dry season, the country relies on THERMAL GENERATION during those periods.
