Colombian Energy Subsidy Usage Data for Non-Interconnected Zones

Colombian data tracks the use of energy tariff subsidies in non-interconnected zones (ZNI). The dataset includes company-level details on fuel purchases, quarterly spending, and subsidy amounts allocated to different socioeconomic strata. It is published by datos.gov.co and was last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Analyzing subsidy distribution across socioeconomic strata (ESTRATO1, ESTRATO2, ESTRATO3) by company (EMPRESA) and year (ANIO).
• Tracking quarterly (TRIMESTRE) fuel (GALONES_COMPRADOS, VR_COMBUSTIBLE) and transportation (VR_TRANSPORTE_COMBUSTIBLE) expenditure trends.
• Correlating total spending (VR_TOTAL) with other expenses (OTROS_EGRESOS, VR_MTMIENTO_G_ELECTROGENO) for financial oversight.
• Mapping subsidy data to specific population centers (CENTRO_POBLADO) using geographic codes (COD_DANE).

Strengths

• Dataset provides granular subsidy data broken down by company, stratum, and quarter.
• Includes multiple financial components such as fuel, transport, and network maintenance costs.
• Offers geographic identifiers (COD_DANE, CENTRO_POBLADO) for spatial analysis.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats (CSV, JSON, XML, RDF).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-05-18).
