BOGOTA,
Colombia, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol
S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) informs that the Shareholders'
Meeting of its subordinate Ecopetrol Energia S.A.S E.S.P., with the
favorable and affirmative vote of 100% of its subscribed shares,
authorized its liquidator, Mr. Christian
Schneider Jaramillo, to carry out all the necessary steps
for the due liquidation of this company whose purpose was the
commercialization of energy, which culminated with the cancellation
of its commercial registration the first days of October.
The liquidation of Ecopetrol Energia S.A.S. E.S.P. was due to
the fact that Ecopetrol S.A. is currently the parent company of an
electric power transmission company, and current regulations
restrict the same group from simultaneously carrying out
commercialization and transmission activities.
Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy
companies in the American continent, with more than 19,000
employees. In Colombia, it is
responsible for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most
transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it
holds leading positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution
segments. With the acquisition of 51.4% of ISA's shares, the
company participates in energy transmission, the management of
real-time systems (XM), and the Barranquilla - Cartagena coastal highway concession. At the
international level, Ecopetrol has a stake in strategic basins in
the American continent, with Drilling and Exploration operations in
the United States (Permian basin
and the Gulf of Mexico),
Brazil, and, through ISA and its
subsidiaries, Ecopetrol holds leading positions in the power
transmission business in Brazil,
Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, road concessions in
Chile, and the telecommunications
sector.
