As of February 17, 2010 Colombia has offered to supply electricity for Venezuela. But, this seems suspicious to Venezuela. As of last Wednesday Venezuela's minister had mentioned that the nation would consider a serious proposal. Energy minister Ali Rodriguez (as shown in top picture) said that Colombia’s unadventurous has not yet made a official present to vend electricity to Venezuela, and said he suspects Bogota could be seeking to humiliate President Hugo Chavez’s communist government.
Rodriguez has said that this, "It could be a political move, trying to put Venezuela on the defensive". But, now the minister of Colombia which is Hernan Martinez (as show in the bottom picture) said that Colombia is producing more

Chavez has been accused of not investing enough in the production of electricity. Ali Rodriguez said that "Venezuela has not received "a concrete offer" from Colombia". He has mentioned that if Colombia were to make a better or serious offer he would consider it.
