Colombia’s target is to be met by “non-conventional sources of energy”, which includes nuclear energy and renewables, small- and large-scale self-supply and distributed power generation, and
non-diesel power generation in non-interconnected zones.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all targets and corresponding shares represent all renewables including hydropower. A number of state/provincial and local jurisdictions have additional targets not
listed here. Some countries shown have other types of targets (see Reference Tables R12–R22). See Policy Landscape chapter and Reference Table R23 for more information about subnational and
municipal-level targets. Existing shares are indicative and may need adjusting if more accurate national statistical data are published.
