Support the sustainability of Colombia's energy sector

The objective of this Technical Cooperation (TC) is to support the strengthening of the sustainability of Colombia's electricity sector, including improvements to the subsidy targeting scheme and the promotion of individual self-generation strategies to protect electricity consumption for the most vulnerable users. The specific objectives are: (i) to support the sustainability of electricity service for vulnerable households through the analysis of 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 energies, 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.
