2. The national plan “PROURE 2017-2022”
Newest regulatory instrument (Res , 30 Dec 2016) to adopt an indicative action plan
Key objective:
“Define the strategic and sectorial actions that allow to reach the energy efficiency targets; to contribute to energy security and compliance with international commitments on environmental issues, generating positive impacts on the country's competitiveness and on raising the quality of life of Colombians.”
Set national indicatives EE targets (not yet mandatory), an action lines to achieve them and a yearly revision of the proposed targets
Details are:

3. Innovative aspects New Institutional Arrangement and roles
i) Information manager;
ii) Active participation of distributors and energy service companies; and
iii) Use of facilitating instruments such as EnMS for monitoring, reporting and evaluation.
Establishment of a market for EE produces and services, promoted by economic incentives to achieve new goals.
Stringent and clear energy saving targets, and action lines, based on a detailed assessment of energy intensive sectors (industry and transport), their energy use and energy saving potentials - More information and analysis sectors transport and industry.
