Higher oil prices drive improvement in external sector data. Booming exports and FDI should support the peso, but high political risk will sustain near-term depreciation risk. Colombia energy analysis, data and forecasts from The EIU to support industry executives'' decision-making.

According to the Energy Productivity and Economic Prosperity Index of 2015, Colombia is currently the second country in Latin America to consume more units of energy than number of points of GDP. In fact, Colombia produces €330,000 million of GDP for every exajoule consumed, reflecting the considerable growth in Colombia''s energy demand.

A microgrid (MG) is a secondary (low voltage) network capable of supplying part or all the power needed by the connected users. It is composed by solar panels, energy storage devices, diesel plants, microturbines, and all other distributed generation technologies available for connecting to the low voltage grid. In this paper, a MG model is presented to

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation for sizing and siting of battery energy storage systems (BESSs). The problem formulation seeks to minimize both operation costs and BESS investment. The proposed model includes restrictions of the conventional security-constrained unit commitment

The Energy Storage Obligation (ESO) specifies that the percentage of total energy consumed from solar and/or wind, with or through energy storage should be set at 1% in the 2023-2024 timeframe and gradually rise
