Colombia generated 89.26% of its electricity from clean and renewable sources in November, national grid operator XM Compania de Expertos en Mercados said.
Renewables, which in Colombia also includes large-size hydropower plants (HPPs) with reservoirs, produced 191.295 GWh per day on average in November, down by just 0.29% month-on-month.
In October, the clean power share reached 89.67%.
As XM noted, Colombia has been enjoying higher than average hydro inflows for ten consecutive months, which enabled it to maintain its reservoirs 87.1% full on average.
All power plants in the national grid combined produced 6,429.6 GWh, or 213.96 GWh per day on average, which represented an increase of 0.17% compared to daily averages in October.
