Colombia rations LNG as sole import terminal shuts for maintenance

Schools and businesses are being pushed remote after the country’s only LNG import terminal went offline for planned maintenance, underscoring the risks of relying on a single gateway.

Summary

Colombia is rationing LNG (liquefied natural gas) after its only import terminal went offline for planned maintenance, forcing authorities to push schools and businesses toward remote operations. The disruption highlights a concentrated energy supply risk: with just one LNG entry point and no backup terminal, a scheduled outage can ripple across power and fuel availability.
