Colombia Market DynamicsDriver: CREG Telemetry Mandate CREG regulations require telemetry equipment at regulating stations across distribution networks, with mandatory installation, operation, and maintenance of telemetry and monitoring equipment for companies including Gases del Caribe, Surtigas, Gases de Occidente, and Efigas. The Reglamento Único de Transporte mandates remote terminal units, telemetry equipment, and flow computers or data correction units at measurement points. Compliance with Resolution 100 of 2003 quality standards requires continuous monitoring of pressure parameters between 16 and 23 mbar for individual lines, creating non-discretionary spending across distribution operators.Challenge: Infrastructure Ageing and Supply Security Colombia's natural gas reserves have maintained a declining trend, with proven reserves decreasing and creating supply security concerns that affect monitoring investment priorities.

The Plan de Abastecimiento de Gas Natural 2023-2032 addresses supply challenges through regasification projects at Coveñas and Ballenas, with new infrastructure potentially contributing up to 40% of national gas consumption from 2027. Ageing pipeline infrastructure requires enhanced integrity monitoring, with TGI conducting annual inspection of its entire 4,000-kilometre network to ensure safety and operational reliability.Trend: Smart Metering Adoption Surtigas implemented smart metering systems based on 4G technology and Internet of Things solutions, deploying 1,212 devices across commercial customers that enabled real-time remote monitoring, leak detection, and automated meter reading. Colombia initiated smart metering implementation motivated primarily by non-technical loss reduction and distribution network investment deferral through load control. Smart metering diffusion in Colombia is approximately 4% with approximately 540,000 devices installed, indicating substantial growth potential across distribution networks.
