Colombia Wind

Provenance, tier, and validation record for colombia-wind. No live curtailment figures on this page — those are on the globe.

Region id: colombia-wind
Country: COL
Waste modality: Wind
Coordinates: 12.50° N, 72.00° W

Estimated Data quality

Tier: estimated · T3-modelled
No waste figure: no curtailment series is collected for this grid and none is modelled, so the globe shows it as a grid marker without a waste pillar. The T3 label only records that nothing here is measured.
Uncertainty: None
No waste figure, so there is no envelope to publish.
Source provenance: modelled-fallback · No verified upstream link
There is no verified upstream link, and no waste figure is served for this grid.
Source: No curtailment series collected; grid present, waste unpublished. Its former 1.5 TWh/yr anchor (an IRENA-capacity × Ember-share split of XM's system-wide spill) was 10× Colombia's 2024 wind generation of 0.15 TWh (Our World in Data, from Ember and the Energy Institute), so it was dropped on 2026-09-29. XM's measured system-wide spill stays on the Colombia region.

Tier, provenance, and source are read at build time from src/lib/regions.ts — the same table the globe draws from. The validation record below is generated separately and gated against it by npm run ci:docs-drift.

Discrepancy analysis

New region (granularity survey expansion, PR #206). Modelled from a capacity/literature anchor; promote when a machine-readable operator curtailment series becomes reachable.

Known limitations

Magnitude is a modelled estimate (typical wind shape × an annual anchor), not a measured curtailment series. ±40% T3 envelope.
