Amidst a string of criticism, Petro squarely targeted residents in regions like the Caribbean Coast who bear the brunt of electric bills. The thumb-twiddling energy sector, he claims, enjoys juicy profits, despite the bulk of power generation coming from low-cost sources like hydropower and solar.
Petro argues that this energy model is rotten, with the rich enjoying preposterously high energy fees while passively contributing to a gaping hole in household finances for millions of Colombians.
Speaking at a rally, he didn't mince his words:
"Foreign-made. The same price they put on the expensive tariffs for those who generate energy, the least expensive in Colombia, made using water and the sun. With costs that are negligible, and yet, they charge the least privileged user anywhere in the Caribbean and throughout the country."
Petro suspects these crooked energy giants reap profits that don't filter back into the nation, damaging the economy and depleting resources intended for struggling households.
To exacerbate the drama, Petro publicly called out a congressman for approving legislation that enables this malicious system. He made it clear who he was talking about: Efrain Cepeda, whom he infamously dubbed "the bad Cepeda."
Once again, our fearless leader stoked the flames of debate about the public service system and emphasized the necessity of reviewing fee structures—all without revealing any plans for regulatory reform or administrative actions.
So far, neither Efrain Cepeda nor the energy market regulators have responded to these scalding remarks.
As Petro doubles down on his quest for transparency, bracing yourself for more seismic shakeups in the energy sector is well justified.
