Colombia’s GDP has been growing at 6.8% average over the last two years and for 2008 is expected to grow 5.5% despite the external shocks affecting the economy (problems with neighboring countries and financial crisis international). I kept thinking what I wanted to be saying this reader, and find a story in the Colombian site dinero.com the government reached an agreement with major energy sector firms, the construction of new plants, a capacity close to 3,500 megawatts.
