Ituango reservoir fill level drops below 100%, discharges may soon cease

The Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios reported that the Ituango reservoir recorded two consecutive days at a 98.8% fill level, below 100%, with discharges of just 6.34 GWh. This trend points toward the definitive cessation of discharges amid low Cauca river flows. Other reservoirs in the National Interconnected System show mixed variations.

The Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios reported on the National Interconnected System monitoring, noting that Ituango completed two consecutive days at 98.8% fill level, the system's highest but still below 100%. Discharges reached just 6.34 GWh, aided by Cauca river flows below seasonal averages.

Punchiná saw the biggest rebound, rising to 51.53%, mainly due to operational adjustments rather than improved hydrology. Playas fell to 75.20% from resumed dispatch in the Guatapé–Playas chain. No reservoir exceeds 100% useful volume: six are between 90% and 100%, five between 80% and 90%, and thirteen below 80%.

Bogotá's supply system faces strain, with Chuza at 27.35% after 18 straight days of decline, while Muña rose to 58.79%. Top reservoirs include Calima 1 (94.5%), Miraflores (90.5%), Riogrande 2 (80.7%), and Betania (79.7%). Lowest are Chuza and Altoanchicaná (34.8%).

Rivers show Ituango contributing 711.3 m³/s (72% of historical average), Sogamoso at 332.3 m³/s (58%), and Prado at a high 145.1 m³/s (181%). Others like Porce III, San Eugenio, and Campoalegre exceed seasonal averages.
