Enlaza GEB

What Enlaza GEB does

Enlaza GEB is the dedicated electricity transmission subsidiary of Grupo Energía Bogotá (GEB), a state-controlled Colombian energy group. Headquartered in Bogotá and established on October 26, 2022, the company operates Colombia's regulated high-voltage transmission network, currently managing 2,592 km of transmission lines and 13 substations organized across four regional divisions (Norte, Centro, Suroccidente, and Transversales). Enlaza is responsible for transporting electricity from generators to distributors across the SIN (Sistema Interconectado Nacional) under tariffs regulated by CREG, and is expanding its service territory from 68 to 181 municipalities via a $1.6 trillion Colombian peso 4-year investment program that will grow the network to 4,243 km.

The company is executing nine active transmission projects and was awarded by UPME the first Synchronous Compensators project in Colombia, a new product category for grid stability and renewable integration. Notable technical work includes the Colectora 500 kV line designed to connect the La Guajira wind farm complex, the recently commissioned Bonda project (2026), and the Chivor II Norte project currently in environmental licensing. Enlaza maintains an Integrated Management System certified across ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 55001, and Anti-Bribery standards, supporting 128 corporate employees and a development-phase workforce of approximately 2,500 direct and indirect jobs.

Enlaza's revenue model is that of a regulated natural monopoly: tariffs are set by CREG and recovered via the wholesale electricity market for use of system assets. The company does not sell to end consumers directly; instead, it provides transmission infrastructure services to generators, distributors, and the system operator. Its investment program is funded by parent GEB, providing access to long-term capital at favorable terms. Beyond its core infrastructure mandate, Enlaza operates social programs (Energía para la Paz, Aulas Solares Interactivas, Voluntariado Energético) that support its license to operate in newly served municipalities.

• InterColombia: InterColombia is an ISA subsidiary operating the company's transmission assets in Colombia. It is a direct functional peer operating high-voltage transmission lines and substations on the SIN, and a likely competitor for Enlaza's UPME pipeline.
• ISA (Interconexión Eléctrica S.A.): ISA is the largest multi-Latin American electricity transmission operator and operates the majority of Colombia's SIN transmission network. It is the most direct peer to Enlaza GEB, competing head-to-head for UPME tenders and operating high-voltage transmission assets across the country.

Regional players

• Afinia: Afinia is a Colombian Caribbean-region electricity distribution operator (an EPM subsidiary). It interfaces with Enlaza's transmission substations in the Norte region and represents an adjacent peer within the SIN ecosystem.
• Air-e: Air-e is a regional electricity distribution operator serving the Caribbean coast of Colombia. While focused on distribution rather than transmission, it operates in regions where Enlaza has substations (e.g., Bolívar, Magdalena) and is part of the interconnected grid ecosystem.

Others

• Transportadora de Gas Internacional (TGI): TGI is a Colombian natural gas transmission operator that is a sister company under Grupo Energía Bogotá. Although focused on gas rather than electricity, it shares the parent company, regulatory framework exposure, and co-invests in community programs (e.g., Aulas solares interactivas) with Enlaza.
