With the issuance of Decree 829 of 2020, the National Government facilitates the process of tax incentives defined in Law 1715 of 2014 by delegating the Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME) as the unique entity to evaluate and certify projects of non-conventional sources of energy. Companies will thus be able to access the tax benefits in 45 days instead of 3 months.

Through the National Development Plan 2018-2022 and Law 1715 of 2014, the National Government granted tax incentives for projects from Non-Conventional Sources of Energy (income deduction, VAT exclusion, exemption from tariff duties and depreciation accelerated) and energy efficiency (income deduction).

The updated regulations expand the investments that qualify as RES or EE investments, including activities such as plant expansion and process improvements. The decree also adds required legal studies to the list of activities that are already considered as valid investments. The non-electrical uses of RES are now included within the scope of EE for purposes of the special deduction.

Low Gas Storage and Diesel Shortages Threaten Europe’s Winter Supply

Tightening global supply of oil and gas is putting Europe on course for a difficult winter this year due to the continent’s significant dependence on energy imports, despite energy transition ambitions. Gas in storage is much lower than it should be, and a diesel crunch is threatening fuel oil supply security for the heating season. It could turn into a perfect storm. The first warning signs emerged as early as March, as the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran crippled Qatar’s LNG export infrastructure, forcing the Gulf state to declare…

Cooling Emissions Are Set to Triple by 2050 as Heat Waves Intensify

Air-conditioning units are increasingly being considered as “essential infrastructure” as summer heat waves turn into a deadly and increasingly regular occurrence. But while air conditioning inarguably saves lives, in the short term, they are simultaneously contributing to global warming and distracting from other, more important approaches to managing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.…
