> Colombia will restart electricity exports to Ecuador on Wednesday, outgoing Energy Minister Edwin Palma said. The government has also activated mechanisms allowing power companies in the two countries to arrange export contracts. The move is intended to restore electricity trade between Colombia and Ecuador. It covers both the resumption of power shipments and the contractual framework for future exports.
