Management Report

We are very happy to report positive financial, operating and social contribution results for Grupo Energía Bogotá and its affiliates in 2019, a year during which we consolidated the objectives we had set out in our Corporate Strategic Plan (CSP), the roadmap we developed four years ago to position ourselves as one of the most important companies in Latin America’s energy sector.

We continue with our transformation

In 2016 we launched a profound transformation to drive the Group’s growth and make in more competitive in the highly dynamic energy sector. We evolved from being an electric energy transmission with a portfolio of investments in companies to becoming a major Corporate Group with nine affiliates in Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Guatemala, and equity stakes in other major companies in the electric energy and natural gas value chain.

Vision of the Future

The transformation we have implemented in recent years will allow us to continue growing in the Latin American energy market. To this end, we have set great challenges for ourselves, among them a Mega for 2025 according to which “Grupo Energía Bogotá will be among the five companies with the highest profits in the Colombian market, with year-on-year growth of more than 9% and its companies will generate an EBITDA* of more than COP 8 trillion from their Latin American operations”.

We will continue to analyze growth opportunities in Latin America, in the Energy Generation, Transmission and Distribution business, with special emphasis on the countries where we already have a presence. We will continue to promote the massification of natural gas, and not only for consumption by households, industry and commerce, but also for mass transport, as it is a more environmentally friendly transitional energy source.

We are a Corporate Group that will continue to work with enthusiasm and contribute to the growth of Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Guatemala, and the Latin American countries where we have business opportunities.

Thank you.
