Colombia's Petro threatens to alter Glencore contract over Israel coal exports
BOGOTA, July 23 (Reuters) - Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Tuesday threatened to unilaterally alter Glencore's (GLEN.L), opens new tab concession contract if the mining giant continues to export coal to Israel, though the company said it has already ceased the shipments in compliance with a presidential decree. "I am willing to unilaterally change the concession contract," Petro said during an energy event for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). The president also warned that if Glencore refuses to comply with the decree to suspend the shipments, he would ask the local community near the mine to stage blockades. In response, the company said it was already in compliance with the order. "Cerrejon has acted in accordance with the decree issued by President Petro. In fact, our last shipment of coal was some two weeks before the decree came into effect," the company told Reuters. Petro suspended exports of the fuel source to Israel over its assault on the Gaza Strip. Israel's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Glencore's Cerrejon operation, located in Colombia's northeastern La Guajira province, is one of the world's largest open-pit coal export mines. It includes a 150-kilometer (93-mile) railway line and a port on the Caribbean Sea. Cerrejon's production reached 19 million metric tons in 2024. In March, the company announced it would cut its annual thermal coal production by between 5 million and 10 million tons due to low mineral prices.

Bankers urge Latin America to ease hurdles to attract renewable energy funds
BOGOTA, July 22 (Reuters) - Latin American countries need to address regulatory barriers, improve electrical interconnection, and enhance renewable energy project structuring to attract the $200 billion annual investment required for the energy transition, multilateral bank executives said on Tuesday. Executives spoke at an event in Colombia's capital Bogota organized by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean. The region's energy infrastructure investments fall short of global averages, which could hinder its ability to meet climate and energy goals. "The solution lies in policy, because money is not lacking," Felix Fernandez, director for Latin America and the Caribbean at the European Union's Directorate-General for International Partnerships, said. "Our region can consolidate its leadership in sustainable energy solutions, but for this, we must create conditions with adequate regulatory frameworks, investment, and a good public-private balance," added Andres Rebolledo, executive secretary of the Latin American Energy Organization. Latin America allocates around 3% of its GDP to energy infrastructure, compared to 5% on average in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, according to World Bank data. European Union companies have planned $20 billion in renewable energy investments in Colombia, where 88% of renewable energy connected to the grid is produced by EU firms, Fernandez said.
