Abstract
Analysis of Offshore Wind Energy in Colombia: Current Status and Future Opportunities
Highlights
Renewable energy in Colombia has been increasing at a rapid pace during the last two years
In 2018, the Colombian electricity portfolio from renewable energy was 50 MW, which corresponded to approximately 1% of the total electricity; in 2019, the portfolio corresponded to 1.5%, and in 2020 it reached 1500MW
The purpose of this study is to explore the opportunities and challenges at a technical and economic levels to include offshore wind energy to Colombia’s energy needs. [6], [7], [8]
Summary
Renewable energy in Colombia has been increasing at a rapid pace during the last two years. In 2018, the Colombian electricity portfolio from renewable energy was 50 MW, which corresponded to approximately 1% of the total electricity; in 2019, the portfolio corresponded to 1.5% (or 180 MW), and in 2020 it reached 1500MW. To maintain the increase in the energy transition route, the electricity sector needs to develop additional generation capacity. Colombia is working according to an important strategic plan for low carbon development (ECDBC) which has been implemented by a short, medium- and long-term development planning program and supported by several departments such as the Department of Energy and the Department of Environment from this same country [3], [4]
