According to the Yangtze River Maritime Safety Administration, to ensure typhoon safety, following the requirements of "early assessment, early warning, early deployment, early inspection, and early evacuation," the administration raised the typhoon emergency response level for the Anhui-Sichuan section of the Yangtze River main channel to Level II at 18:00 on July 11th.July 11 – The European Union is developing a “solidarity tool” to support businesses in shifting supplies of critical goods and to cushion the impact of trade conflicts. According to sources, this tool requires funding, and member states are currently negotiating the EU’s next multi-year budget. The exact amount needed is unclear, but given the size of the industries and trade involved, the funding requirements are likely substantial. Some member states are currently pushing for spending cuts. The tool was developed by the EU’s executive body. Sources indicate that national envoys have been briefed on the tool this week.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially determined that a magnitude 3.3 earthquake occurred at 19:14 on July 11 in Eryuan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province (26.12 degrees north latitude, 99.86 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 11 kilometers.Russian Deputy Prime Minister: We will begin importing petroleum products this month.Russian Deputy Prime Minister: The ban on diesel exports is to meet domestic market demand, and we will expedite the repair work on the damaged refineries.

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
