Abstract The research focuses on the evaluation of the progress of the renewable installed capacity of the meridian countries with Colombia. Junto a Colombia, there are 12 other countries that are crossed by an imaginary line that surrounds the planet and because of this, each of these countries that it crosses, have a similar climatology, which, compared to Colombia, is assimilated to have the same conditions for the implementation of renewable energies. A bibliographic compilation was carried out where the amount of published information that can show the moment that the energy sector of each country that belongs to the Equatorial Meridian is going through was taken into account, with the aim of analyzing and comparing the energy news of Colombia with respect to these. This study shows the current energy state of each country, where different points are observed in relation to renewable and conventional energies. This comparative analysis was carried out based on the information found and gives a good impression of Colombia in the current and future energy field, but with difficulties due to factors outside its projection.
