| Summary: | The purpose of this report is to provide
decision makers in Colombia (and by extension other
countries or regions), who are considering the deployment or
consolidation of wind power, with a set of options to
promote its use. The options presented are the result of an
analysis of the Colombian market; this analysis included
simulations and modeling of the country's power sector,
and extensive consultations with operators, managers, and
agents. More information on the analysis and simulations is
presented in the appendixes. Wind was chosen to exemplify
the range of renewable energy alternatives available to
complement traditional power sector technologies on the
basis of its technical maturity, its relatively low cost
compared to other options, the country's experience,
and its wind power potential. This report constitutes the
second phase of a barrier analysis to wind energy in Colombia. |
