Synopsis

Electricaribe, a Colombia-based power distributor and subsidiary of Spain-based Gas Natural Fenosa (BME:GAS), could be capitalized by the Colombian government, reported Crónica Global on 8 August 2016.

Specifically, the director of the Federación Nacional de Departamento, Amilkar Acosta, noted Electricaribe has a large amount of debt with the authorities of Colombia's Atlantic region. Additionally, Acosta confirmed Gas Natural Fenosa issued a document through the court: "It is the response to president Santos' demand for a capitalization of Electricaribe, so the company is able to meet its investment commitments of the Plan5Caribe".
