José David Insuasti, Emcali's energy manager, resigned on March 17, 2026, just five days after the Procuraduría General de la Nación revoked his provisional suspension from December 29, 2025. The reinstatement order, issued on March 12, related to an ongoing disciplinary investigation into the official's management, though specific details remain undisclosed. In his letter to general manager Roger Mina, Insuasti stated: “Considero que este es el momento de cerrar este ciclo profesional por decisión personal y ante nuevos proyectos que surgen en mi vida profesional” (I consider this the moment to close this professional cycle by personal decision and before new projects arising in my professional life). On the Procuraduría's ruling, he wrote: “Recibo con serenidad este pronunciamiento institucional y reitero mi respeto por los procesos de control y por la responsabilidad pública que nos corresponde ejercer desde EMCALI” (I receive this institutional pronouncement with serenity and reiterate my respect for oversight processes and the public responsibility we must exercise from EMCALI). Company insiders mention rumors of his imminent involvement in a national project. Insuasti plans to submit a management report and handover soon. Roger Mina is expected to name a replacement for the energy management role shortly.
