The organization has identified some of the most important risks associated with climate change that must be studied in upcoming years due to the effect they could have on the business:
- Decrease or total loss of energy generation capacity.
- Reduction of the capacity of hydroelectric plants.
- Denial of permits for the construction of new plants.
- Political and social instability.
- Transitional & Physical risks related with climate change. To know more clic here.

Possible effects of climate change in the sector that would impact Celsia:
Hydroelectric
- Restrictions in the water flows that are given or renewed.
- Shorter, more intense droughts or floods.
- Reduced water quality in the reservoirs.
- Possible changes in regulation aimed at multi-purpose reservoirs.
Thermal
- Reduction of the available water resource.
- Temperature problems in the cooling units.
- Water quality problems for steam and cooling.
- Decrease in power due to increased ambient temperature.
- Greater restrictions in energy intensity.
- Opposition by stakeholders to thermal energy projects.
Wind
- Increased wind due to global convection.
We use natural resources in the most efficient way, since the continuity of our business over time depends on it. For this reason, we implement best practices for saving energy, proper disposal of solid waste, landfill management and control of atmospheric emissions. For more information click here.
