The main objective of this TC is to provide operational support for the design of investment loan CO-L1313. This will be achieved by supporting the strengthening of the sustainability of the Colombian electricity sector, including improvements to the subsidy targeting scheme and the promotion of individual self-generation strategies to protect the electricity consumption of the most vulnerable users. The specific objectives are: (i) to support the sustainability of electricity service for vulnerable households by analyzing public policy strategies that promote the closing of fiscal gaps in electricity subsidies, including improvements in subsidy targeting; (ii) to support the development of public policy measures that promote more affordable service and encourage the adoption of non-conventional renewable energy sources, including the Colombia Solar program, which promotes the installation of solar panels in low-income households; and (iii) to strengthen institutional capacities to improve the sector's sustainability.
