The HOCOL is a key infrastructure asset in Colombia's power generation grid, located on the continent of South America. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Colombia, HOCOL occupies the #3 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Colombia's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 243 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Colombia is the Cartagena with an output of 188 MW, making the HOCOL approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Colombia's aggregate generation capacity of 37,499 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of oil power plants (modeled at 15% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Colombia consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 3.8606° latitude and -74.9211° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Hidroprado (hydroelectric, 51 MW), the Celsia Solar Espinal (solar, 10 MW), the Hidroelectrica Prado (hydroelectric, 0 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Colombia.
