How much does Ituango D cost?

The Ituango Dam, or Hidroituango, is the 225 m high earth-fill embankment dam with a clay core on the Cauca River at Ituango in Antioquia, Colombia, built by EPM from 2011 for an eight-unit power plant of about 2,400 MW, four units of which have been in commercial operation since December 2022 and October 2023. EPM's board approved on 27 March 2023 an updated total cost of 19.4 trillion Colombian pesos, up from 17.6 trillion, and Infobae reported in March 2026 a cost now reaching about 23.2 trillion pesos against an initial 11 trillion.
