XM: dry-season demand still leans on thermal power
Of ~68 GWh/day extra versus 2015–16, only ~19 would come from solar; the rest from thermal and hydro.
XM’s bulletin 366 breaks down the dry season: versus 2015–16, daily demand growth would be about 68 GWh, with roughly 19 from solar and 49 from thermal and hydro—even with Hidroituango.
What it means
Solar helps by day; evening and night security still rests on reservoirs and thermal fuels.
